Happy Families

The baptism has been completed without fuss.  Finn was perfect throughout and didn't fuss when the water was poured on his head.  His great Aunt Nancy read a prayer and his other grandma read from the book of Matthew.  Through Nancy there is a link to Finn's great grandma, my mother in law now deceased. The best man and  a bridesmaid from Finn's parents wedding were also there.  I like that sort of continuity in a person's life.  Afterwards we gathered in a nearby bar and the extra shows Finn nodding off after a cuddle with grandad the forester.  The bottle of whiskey looks good but I doubt I will be around to see it opened.  Hopefully Finn's Dad will tell the story of him and I taking up whiskey drinking after reading the Rebus detective  novels by Ian Rankin.
