A blessed day...

April 10th 2012....will forever hold a special place in my heart...for on this day my first-born son made his First Holy Communion and my first-born daughter was baptized. To celebrate these two sacraments on the same day was made even more memorable because my brother, Fr. Fernando, was here to baptize Miriam and give Enriquito his First Holy Communion. Blessed be God!

Below are some pictures from this extraordinary day!
