Little Boy's baptism.

Well, it has to be said, we've had a busy week.  In fact, we're in the middle of a busy fortnight.  In fact... (I could go on, but I'll stop)
But yesterday was the highlight of it all. Little Boy got baptised.  It ended up being a sort of fusion of the various communities of which we are a part.  It happened in the chapel here at school; the service was led by mum, and we had family, friends from church and lots of people from school there.  It was great to draw together these different parts of our lives.
We were delighted to have so many  people with us, celebrating Little Boy's life, and committing him to God.

The numbers grew as the weekend progress - 10 for Saturday dinner, 30 for Sunday lunch, and about 4.7 million (or thereabouts) in our house for tea after the service.
I explained it all to Big Boy (again!) on the Sunday morning, so he had fresh in his mind what we were doing and why.  He came and stood with us while we were making our promises (the photo is from after the service - that's the top of his head at the bottom there, along with the top of his cousin's head).  Granny also got Big Boy to light the candle and hold it while we prayed.  That night, as it happened, our Bible story was about Jesus' baptism, which was rather apt.
All-in-all, a great day, and hopefully one which will help others to understand our faith better.
