Arlo’s Christening

Posted on December 3, 2018 By Becky

This post is slightly late as I had domain issues with my blog last week and my entire site was out of action for 6 days- total nightmare! I couldn’t not add a few photos documenting Arlo’s christening though. We don’t have many as my main camera is also broken and has been sent off to be fixed (definitely having a tech crisis at the moment), but the ones we do have are lovely (and thanks to my sis-in-law too). 

We were part of a regular Sunday service at the church where Adam and I got married, and it’s such a relaxed and modern kind of church which is right up our street- we really didn’t want anything stuffy. After making a bid for freedom when us/his godparents were about to ‘commit’, he was very well behaved and a bit of a superstar, dancing to every hymn that was sung and generally pottering around being cute. Arlo has 5 godparents and very lucky he is with this bunch too! We finished off a lovely day with food, drink and cake at a local pub, and it’s nice to know that he’s finally been ‘done’, albeit a bit older than the other two were. 

When you can bowl up to the vicar yourself, you know your parents have left it a bit late for you to get Christened!

Here are a just few snaps of the day…

My Siblings in October

A few days late to the party with this ‘siblings’ post, but I couldn’t not include this epic photo of my two, dressed up as matching foxes for their school’s annual ‘Roald Dahl’ day. If this doesn’t make them seek therapy when they’re older, I don’t know what will 😉 …

10 Things that have made me happy this week

A lovely family lunch in Islington on Saturday to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. The children loved seeing their little cousin Astrid, my niece, and the rest of the family. We all ate far too much and of course, Freddie in particular loved the train and tube journeys there and back!…

I’ve written these kind of ‘New Year’s Resolution’ posts on a few occasions now since creating this blog, and whilst I often cringe at the cliche of them, as someone who really buzzes off goal setting they still fill me with a small amount of ‘clean-slate-joy’!  The last few years…
