Par krusttēvu nāca Roberta brālis Matīss, un par krustmāti mana māsa Anna. Ģimene sabrauca no tuvienes un tālienes, pat Latvijas, Sietlas un Toronto.
Pēc Dievkalpojuma iepazīstinājām Ciānas draudzi ar Miku Jumi un pacienājām tos ar manas vecmammas ceptiem pīrāgiem, mammas ceptu kliņģeri, un tantes un krustmātes sieto Jāņu sieru.
Mikum mugurā kristību kleitiņa kuŗā kristija viņa brālēnus Ronaldu un Matīsu, viņa māsīcu Ināru, un arī viņa tēti, krusttēvu un tanti Gintu.
Mana mamma salika altāra puķes. Tamdēļ, ka rudens jau klāt izvēlējamies saulespuķes.
Priecājamies, cik daudz ģimene sabrauca būt klāt svinēt šo dienu ar mums.
Kas mirdzēja, kas vizēja
Viņā ceļa
galiņā?
Kūmas veda

Svētu rītu

Kas tur

Visi meži
locījās.
Tā bērniņa
vārdiņš nāca,
Ko šodienu
krustījām.
Grieziet
ceļu, grieziet ceļu,
Mazam
Mikum Jumītim!
Mikus nāca

Mikus Jumis was christened by my godmother’s godmother on September 23rd. By having the christening in Chicago we were able to
make it more convenient for a large portion of our family to be present,
although family came from as close as just down the road as well as all the way
from Latvia, Washington and Canada. We were delighted that our family made the
trip to share this day with us, it just made the event that much more beautiful
and meaningful.
Roberts’s brother Matīss and my sister Anna consented to be the godparents. When he was a baby, Matīss was also christened in the dress Mikus wore for the occasion, as were Mikus’s father, aunt and three cousins.
After the service we introduced Mikus to the congregation. My grandmother had baked pīrāgi, my mother kliņģeris, and my godmother and aunt had tied Jāņu siers for the occasion. As we mingled and met with everyone it was amazing to watch our little Mikus’s smile reflected in so many faces. The day was a blessing in every which way.
How amazing that so many people were able to make it!
