In June Kristian, Nicky and I travelled back to Sydney for Nicky's baptism. It was even more special because the priest officiating at the baptism was none other than Father Frank Murphy, our friend who had married us in Ireland.
The baptism took place at the Mary MacKillop Chapel in North Sydney, a lovely place. Nicky was decked out in the Shanahan family christening gown, which had been in the Shanahan family for 100 years or so. I reckon that he looked like a little angel (gush, gush I know). Very Victorian England. Amazingly, Nicky who is normally constantly wriggling around, managed to sit still through the entire baptism. He was completely mesmerised by Frank. Another Mary MacKillop miracle perhaps??
