Your baptism

Dear Matthew

Last Sunday was your baptism. We held it at St Thomas More Catholic Church in Bateman, followed by afternoon tea back home. 

When we arrived at the church you hadn't slept or about two and a half hours so promptly fell asleep in Gramps' arms and didn't wake up until the holy water was poured all over you (luckily at that point you just startled but didn't cry, such a good baby). 

It was a lovely little service lead by Father Phillip, and very lucky that you were the only baby being baptised at that time. 

Afterwards we headed back home with everyone for afternoon tea. We were so lucky that the weather was only about 28 degrees, given every day for at least the past month has been 30+ degrees (and closer to 40 than 30). 

Your godparents are Aunty Bec and Uncle Dan, two of your mum and dads very good friends. 

It was a wonderful day and wonderful to be able to celebrate you with our closest family and friends. 

Love, 

Mum xxx
