Kinnon's Baptism

Kinnon was baptised together with his cousin Caitlyn at St Anne's Church today. Laura decided that it would make more sense to have a combined baptism with her cousin Allison. I thought it would be good so that our relatives wouldn't have to come twice, besides, we could then split the costs of the reception.

We invited my cousin's Jerome and Agnes to be Kinnon's god parents. Laura and I are godparents to Jerome and Agnes second son Declan. Kevin and Kim, Laura's brother and sister-in-law were godparents to Caitlyn. I have probably gotten all of you confused who is cousin's to who, but suffice to say, it was just a big family affair.

after being awake for a while at the start, Kinnon pretty much slept through the whole affair. Even when Father Henry Siew poured cold water over his head three times.

I personally enjoy baptisms. Baptisms are a time for all of us to renew our faith and our beliefs, especially in the presence of the people around us. More so, at a baptism, we are reminded that we need everyone's help, our friends, our god-parents, our family members, all the saints and angels in our heavenly family to follow Christ.
