I’m looking forward to celebrating (is that the right word?) my first Mothers’ Day on Sunday. In honour of the day I thought I’d post a pic of me with my mum. I think the photograph was taken on the day of my Christening in 1977/78. I still have the little outfit I’m wearing but I’m glad I haven’t seen the hideous coat and hat my mum is wearing in a long time.
I would love to have Edward christened at the church we got married in some day. I think we’ve left it a little late as I could imagine how indignant he would be if anyone tried to pour water on his head!

April 1, 2011 at 8:29 amYour first Mother’s Day – that is quite a milestone….My 3 year old has just asked me “Why are you so happy?” because I am smiling whilst typing this – happy memories!
Having your son christened in the church you were married in would be so special. I never managed that but would have loved to. My mother in law had this crazy theory that when they cried as the water was being poured on their little heads it was “letting the devil out”?!!
Anyway, I’m loving the 70s photo – priceless – and I am now inspired to go and find some of my own.

April 1, 2011 at 2:44 pmJ was about 7 months or so when he was christened and boy oh boy did he scream that church down! The other baby being christened was silent and then there was my screaming wailing banshee of a child! But I am glad I did it and in the church I had always attended throughout school etc! If you want to do it, go for it! Its NEVER too late 🙂

April 2, 2011 at 9:49 amFab – the first Mothers Day is a lovely one – suddenly it takes on a whole new meaning.
And I don’t think your Mum’s coat is THAT bad… (we’ll not mention The Hat).

April 2, 2011 at 12:28 pmWhat a great picture! I keep meaning to join in Flashback Friday some time but I really need to get all the old photos over from England to contribute properly.
We’re getting Baby O christened in June, when he’ll be 13 months old – eek! I think we could have some struggling on the day when the priest comes at him with the water…
