Baptism


 Sarah's godmother held little Sarah for her baptism as each time that I tried, Isaac would scream to be held.  The little screamer got his way.  Sarah was baptised on July 8th, a Sunday at 4pm.
 Similarly to Isaac's baptism, Joseph insisted on biting the baptismal font.
 Sarah was slightly apathetic about her momentous occasion.  She had also recently lost most of her hairline during a bath; perhaps she was a little embarrassed about her hair loss.
 The ringing of the bells upon the completion of the baptism.
 My favourite photo of the baptism.
 Fr. Joe Hattie is in the middle.  He was one of the priests who married us 10 years ago and is now posted at OLSWA in Barry's Bay.  My dad is on the right.
 John and Susan, Sarah's godparents.
 Dave and Elena, Sarah's parents.
 The latest family photo.  Looking through these pictures I realise that I have worn the same sandals to five of our children's baptisms.  Why not six?  Joe was baptised on Dec. 30th.
 My dad and I.  I am looking tired (which I was) - I seldom sleep well before a baptism.
The new normal.

I love to see Dave's hand resting on Joe, there was one similar when Isaac had his birthday cake. Out comes daddy's hand! always on Joe.
Too funny.

You guys are awesome - love the new family! Love the little one's name. I'll have to tell our Sarah that she has a twin out there that we hope to meet one day:)
