HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY
FREDDIE MARK

On this day last year at 9:58am you arrived into our world. The following weeks were very tough as we watched helplessly as you fought for your life. If someone had said to us then that in one years time we would only have to worry about things such as what you will think of cows milk instead of formula and what time will you go to bed, we wouldn't have believed them.

There are so many people that love and care for you. Your brother worships you and is already your best friend.

You bring so much joy and happiness into our lives and we promise to fill your world with fun, excitement and most of all, love.

Freddie Mark Sawyer's Naming Ceremony

18th August 2012

Rushcliffe Registry Office

Freddie's special day finally arrived.

The ceremony was lovely, as emotional as expected to be, a very special way to celebrate a very special little boy.

The ceremony (started by a grand entrance from Freddie, Samuel and myself and Jon to Pirates of the Caribbean music!) was all about how much joy Freddie has bought into our lives and the lives of those who care about us.

As parents we promised to love, support and protect Freddie. His mentors (Sarah, Darren, Uncle Steve and Auntie Michelle) did the same.

Freddie's lovely grandparents took the stage and also made promises to him.

There were some very emotional and heartwarming readings by Uncle Steve, Sarah and Freddie's lovely Mamma. 

Samuel presented his little brother with his naming ceremony teddy bear which was very cute. 

After the ceremony, family and friends gathered on the park for a picnic.

Thank you to everyone who made Freddie's day so special.
