Jaimeson's Baptism

 Hi y'all!
Last Sunday we had Jaimeson's Baptism! Yep, it's taken us a little while to get around to it, seeing as he is nearly 2! But we finally organised a date for the Baptism and a BBQ lunch at home afterwards, and it was last Sunday. And we all had lots of fun!
Here is our little man, all dressed up in his finest Hawaiian shirt (which I even ironed for him {gasp!} Mum, you didn't even notice!), navy stripe linen pants and his cute little navy Boat shoes. With crisp white socks, of course {heart melting}
So first, a dunking. It was a fair bowl-full of water over the head by our new minister Fergus, but Jai didn't mind. He loves swimming after all. LOL! Jai did look up at us as if to say "Is this ok?" and Will and i must have been smiling sufficiently for him to think it was nothing to worry about!
Then a Blessing. Jaimeson is looking at the bowl as if to say "hmmm...will you and I be meeting again?" {giggles}
And he is now officially a member of St Dunstan's Anglican Church at Denistone East. Round of applause please! {clapping heard in the background}
Then it was back to our place for a BBQ lunch.
And cake.
Which was delicious. Yep!
I always think Jaimeson is quite a big boy, until I see him playing with his cousins and second cousins, and I realise he still is a little fella!
It was so nice to spend some time with my family too, especially my sisters, though it was a busy day and I could have done with a few more free minutes for a chat!
Here are all my siblings and all the grandchildren together with Granny and Papa for the first time since Venice was born. How exciting!
And here is Jaimeson's Godfather Ric, and his sister. So proud!
We had a fabulous day, thank you family for all coming along to support us and Jaimeson! We love you all!

It was a very special day and great that the sisters and grandchildren could all be together. We did miss the two sons-in-law and hope that this year we might have another gathering that EVERYONE can get to. Hopefully that will be Yvette's birthday next month in Canberra.
Love Mum
