Isabel's Baptism (Sun 25.02.07)

It was the morning of Isabel's baptism and the young lady was found hanging out with her Grandad.



Shortly before it was time to leave for church, friends James and Jacqui Bean visited with two of their sons Joshua and Zak. Isabel is seen below in her baptism attire with the two boys Joshua and Zak. The young lady looks on nervously, hoping she doesn't cry at the font.



Eyes Right! Isabel is the only member of the party concentrating on the photographer.*




The Corleone family pose for a photo at the font of St George's church in Poynton. Back row from l-r: The Godfather Don Vito Coreleone (aka Ian Hunneybell), together with Godmothers Fiona Houghton, Sam Lackey and Abi Schmit, with parents Kate & Jon holding Isabel.





After the church service it was time to go over to Ciao's for lunch. Below are scenes from the afternoon's gathering.

After the party it was back home and Godfather Ian finally got a chance to be left holding the baby.



Tears before bedtime. Isabel was told that her big day was finally over and that it was time to visit the dreaded cot! Granny, Godfather and Mum all attempt (without success) to console the young lady.
