It was a special celebration for a number reasons: The baptism was held in the church that the Mullin family have been members of as long as we can remember. The ceremony was performed by the same priest that married us. Daniel wore the Roets family christening gown, which is just over 100 years old, also worn by his brother, dad, oupa and groot oupa before him. And last but not least it was a personal family affair just the way we wanted it to be.
We choose Deano and Lana as Daniel's godparents (which makes Janine and Fritjof godparents in-law so the lucky boy gets 4 for the price of 2). And I'm honoured to be little Tyler's godmother and I will try to fulfil my duties to the best of my ability and spoil her accordingly.

A photoshoot of the special boy (and his proud family)
The doting (can you blame them) grandparents
Uncle Dinku (aka Gotti) with his hands full already
Four of the (ever growing) new generation
The adoring (and adorable) big brother
After the christening a rainbow appeared and lit up the sky - I know some of you will think I am a bit weird but it was a special sign for me - it kind of made me feel that Oumie Nettie and Oupa Paddy were with us in spirit.
