In celebration of our first wedding anniversary, we had Zara baptised on Sunday. The intimate family, ceremony was held at St Columba's in Parkview by Rev "Chunky" Young. The service was not only special because it was our anniversary but also because I have known Chunky for years through the wedding industry and he did our marriage prep with us. All in all there were three babies, of which two were Zara!!!
After the ceremony we all came back to our place for a light lunch. In keeping with her special bug theme we had her baptism candle and cake decorated to suit.....
Even though the weather was a bit miz we had lovely day with our families. The Smeetons. Londoners and Parnells were sorely missed, thanks you all for thinking of us and sending your special blessings for Zara!

It was a truly happy occasion and we feel privileged to have been able to be there
We were so sad to miss it. Hope you had a wonderful anniversary too... I'm sure lots of people (including me) overlooked it in all the thoughts of Zara.
We were thinking of you that special day - although isn't every day special with baby Zara... I spent the whole week crying and wishing I could be at the christening; my friends became worried and urged me to call Dad because "He'll buy you a plane ticket". Hmmm, thanks for that suggestion. I was actually very tempted, but Mikey could not get leave from work, and as you may know from our last trip, the boys will lose their places at their respective schools if they are away for more than 3 days unexcused. So here I stayed and watched the clock on the 16th! Did not forget your anniversary: the card I am making has turned out to be such a masterpiece that I am now overwhelmed and have to come up with another idea.
Kisses for Baby Zara from her Aunt Suzie. PS: Sorry for such a long "comment", but our e-mail is not working and you know I can't fix it.
