Happy Easter

Our Easter celebrations were very different this year as not only did we attend the Easter vigil, but we also witnessed Tom enter the church.  The evening was made all the more special because Fr Phillip Smith celebrated the mass and he was our parish priest when Em, Kath and Sara were small!










Receiving the Spirit and the confirmation name of Matthew.
The whole evening was quite special and one we will treasure for sure.

In order to prevent a late night drive we made the decision to stop with Sara, Tom and Ollie overnight.  It was lovely to spend the day with them and the kids in particular loved hanging out with their nephew :-)

Oh, congratulations and welcome to Tom! :-) My Scarlet and Thomas were baptized together at the Easter Vigil, ten years ago, and it happened to fall that day on Thomas's seventh birthday :-)

Ollie is *adorable*! Oh my gosh, how do you resist kissing and cuddling him endlessly!? :-)

Happy Easter! xox

Wonderful family news, San! We saw quite a few people enter the church during the Easter vigil at Westminster Cathedral. Happy Easter!

I cannot resist!

Yes it was lovely to share in his celebration although it was ' touch and go' as to whether we would be there; I have been dealing with horrendous joint pain since Gloucester and have had to use a walking stick on more than one occasion.

Congratulations to him for his confirmation! Lovely to see your family together!
Hoping you are ok San.xx

Sorry to hear about the joint pain and walking stick. Maybe the warmer temperatures in spring and summer will improve things.

Congrats to Tom . . what a lovely time for all of you, and so nice to see your parish priest for the baptism too. I hope your joint pain goes away xoxoxo
