Baptism day

Having thought Mario had been baptised we had not gone ahead with a ceremony when he came home. It wasn't until we were preparing for school that we found out otherwise. Not a problem and last Sunday we had a lovely special service.

With Michael and Paulette as godparents, NannaRose and Griffy and Shane and Belinda in attendance Father John completed the ceremony.

A little tricky being held over the baptismal stand but with Daddys muscles it all went to plan. What was lovely was that Mario was able to actively participate as you can see by him holding the candle.

I am sure Mario loved being the centre of attention with a party, presents and celebration.

Mario was a little unsure of the crosses and wondered why he could not see them all. Not sure what he was expecting but he was just so beautiful through it all.

I just wish I could get that white shirt to remain tucked in for longer than 5 seconds. But Mario did look smart and was well behaved.
