Shots from the latest happenings

Let's keep things simple. Past few weeks Paula has been really busy studying (exam is tomorrow). I've been busy too... hanging around with Iines and socialising with friends.

There also have been few occasions here worth mentioning. Juha, a friend from Sydney, had spent this summer in Finland and was heading back to new adventures in Asia. He stayed overnight at our place so we decided to organise a small reunion with Tomi and Mirva. Week ago on Sunday we had Iines' baptism ceremony. It took place at our home and was as informal as possible. Close family and 4 godparents were invited so it was about 20 people in our mansion ... warm athmosphere for sure.


One of the biggest tourist attractions in Helsinki


Few familiar faces


It's so cool to spend time with dad.

Boring speech


She doesn't know what's behind the corner.

Nice pictures after all modest comments by Otso. Iines has evidently a well developed skill to sleep during long seremonies. Good feature for professional life later too.

I think that the history of the christening robe should be mentioned: Iines was the 18th baby who was babtised in this robe used since 1954 in Säisä family.

Best wishes to Iines and her nearest!

Hyvä tietää että Iines on turvassa kristittyjen joukossa. Näyttää hienolta tilaisuudelta porolihoineen :) On uskomatonta kuinka paljon pikkuinen on kasvanut. Ilmeisesti hyvässä hoidossa! Odotan innolla jälleennäkemisiä jouluna!
