What a lovely day we had. It only seems like five minutes since we were all at the church for our wedding.
In actual fact, that was over three years ago! Where does the time go?
Little One was so good all day and didn't mind getting dunked.

The following pictures were taken on the CurranCam by Christine, or by Clare or myself.
I am in the process of collecting other people's photos, so if you have some (begging bowl out) please may I have a copy? :-)
To see some more pictures taken by my dad, you can visit his Gallery of Abigail's Baptism

Father Bob a good friend of the family married Clare and Me back in 2002 and we were thrilled that he could come to Christen Abigail. His personal touch made the difference to a really great day. Thank you Bob!

Abigail,

When your Mummy and Daddy asked me to be your God Parent, I was so proud

I’m your new God Parent and I have my duties of which I promise to lead you in the right direction, and I will always love and care for you as if you was one of my own I will always be there for you in case you ever get lost along the way

I’m sorry I can’t be with you to share your Special Day but my heart is with you always sweetheart I promise

Lots of Love

If you do a head count of the God Parents, you'll see we are one missing.
Unfortunately, Michelle was not able to come, but sent a lovely letter which I read out for her (see right).
