Christening

Its been a while since I updated this blog so thought I'd go back and update some of the important events of this year. In March wonderful grandson ( I know.... I am biased) Luke was christened at a lovely ceremony at the local church in Berrigan. For those friends who are not Australian, Berrigan is close to the Victorian/New South Wales border.

Luke behaved well - though he did seem to think it was a bit strange getting wet in the middle of the day rather than just bath time as can be seen in the look
he gave his Mum during the ceremony. Anth was a proud as punch. Jen's brother Keith and Lauren are godparents - also well behaved - so a lovely ceremony all round.

We all then went to the annual Berrigan horse race where we celebrated Luke's christening and his 1st birthday. Even though it sounds a strange place to celebrate - it was a great day and a lot of fun. Country race meetings are very different from those held in the city. It is all very casual and friendly with all the locals joining in and the races were interesting. some seemed competitive and some just needed to finish to get a place.
