7:15 am. I am dressed and ready to go! I was told we were leaving for the church at 7:20, so in classic form, I'm ready 5 minutes ahead of time.
7:45 am. I hear the shower turn on, as every other of my family members start to shower.
8:15 am. the parents and the kids leave for the church. Misa started at 8. Maru is still in the shower, so I stay back to wait for her.
8:30 am. Maru and I finally leave the house. Good thing the church is only about 5 blocks away!
Somehow, despite all the time I've now spent in Latin America, this whole time and showing up late thing still continues to drive me up a wall. It is definitely one of my biggest cultural challenges!
Anyways, church was, interesting. It was more like mass chaos with a bunch of people running around and lots of crying little kids dressed in white. I don't think a single person listened to anything the priest was actually saying. There were about 10 children being baptized today, so there was a lot of lines and waiting. Not exactly the kind of baptisms I have witnessed in the past!
Pues, it was an interesting time. All the kids were super cute, and a bunch of family came over to the house afterwards to share in some delicious chilaquiles and atole.

finally! a semi-decent picture of the whole family! (minus smiles...)
the cherubs all cute for the big day
What adorable pictures! Can't imagine your grandpa adjusting to the "time" thing, since his mother also taught him to be 5 minutes early.
