Maeghan's Party

Maeghan was guest of honour at two ceremonies today. The first was her christening, the second was a naming.

I'm not entirely sure whether this is a puzzled or stern look, nor what I did to deserve it, but I thought it was pretty cute.

The only pictures I took at the church were with other people's cameras, although I actually spent most of the time trying to amuse Isaac so that he didn't start giving a speech of his own. Even without amplification, he would've given the priest a run for his money on the volume scale, had we not resorted to letting him have as many sultanas and rice crackers as he could fit into his mouth at once.

Needless to say, it all went well, and then it was back to Lisa & Derrick's place for the naming.


I didn't take a lot of pictures at the party, but I've put a few snaps below. I've made higher resolution versions temporarily available here.

Lisa, Derrick and Maeghan.


(Great) Uncle George does the honours. Maeghan's chinese name is Oi Mai. The "oi" refers to "love", the "mai" to beautiful. I apologise if I've spelt "mai" incorrectly, it may be "may".


A wide show of the yard. Hopefully it shows a little of the work Derrick and Norm put in to getting things ready. They were ready for rain, even if it never showed up.


Cutting the cake.
