The service was on Sunday morning at the church where M& I got married. We had a good crowd gathered including local friends and relatives and those who had flown in from Ireland and Germany. We were also really pleased to see friends who we had not seen in a long time: G&N who are expecting! And the Cannons, who have two more mini-Cannons than they did the last time we saw them!

The service was really great, very relaxed. Father Pat got many of the other children involved,

thanks to M's cousin C, and my cousin J

thanks to D & E, and to G and M

you all did a super job!

Aunty M is Fidget's godmother

Uncle A did the reading for us

Fidget did get a bit more grumpy than she might usually be with so many new things to look at,

so I walked her around between her various calls to centre stage.

She cheered up when she got something to do, like have water splashed on her (she even had a little drink of it)

She also enjoyed having a little walk around, having a special bib put on her and saying a prayer with Father Pat

After the service we went to a nearby pub and enjoyed some food (and the previously mentioned balloons).

Fidget eventually found it all a bit much and had a well deserved kip...

Thanks to Aunty B for taking most of these pictures, M's cousin E also did a sterling paparazi job and hopefully we will soon have those pictures to share with you.
