Robert Michael
Christening: April 16, 2000



Just prior to the service starting,
Mike (dad), Rob (the cutest one) and Barbara (mom);
Father Harris is officiating.

Barb and Rob before the service;
he was a little rambunctious!

 


Here's Rob peeking over his mom's shoulder, trying to figure out what Uncle Brian, the photographer, is doing.

Barb and Robbie from another angle-- the purple streak?  That's Robbie's big sister, Alex running by!

Mike, Barb and Robbie again,
before the service.

 


The whole family gathered
together for the ceremony.

On the left is Father Harris, then Peter (Brian & Barbara's brother), the godfather, Kerry (Mike's sister), the godmother, and Mike & Barb and Rob.

Leaning Robert into position . . . 

 


 . . . and the baptism of Robert Michael.


 


The godparents hold
the christening candle.

Three and half-Bilbreys + Mike.

Mom & Rob

Rob listens as Mike tells him something obviously very important!

Food!

Oops!

Alexandra, of course, dressed up a bit!

Pete (the godfather), Gail, Robbie's grandmothe in Sacramento, and Bob, Robbie's Bob . . . long story.

A very confused Rob plays with Roberta, Uncle Peter's friend.

 


The tower that Robbie and Roberta had made collapsed onto him-- he's just checking to see if anyone else saw it!
