| As soon as we are back in Sweden the preparations for Emmas baptism starts. Jonas family arrived Saturday at Skarpö, so that our families (the Rheborgs & the Jacobis) could spend some time togheter. From left: A proud father, a cool uncle Adam, the center of focus - Emma, and aunti Anna | |

| The first day with both our families started with Grand Pa Christer raising the Swedish flag. The rest of the day we spent listening to Emma | |

Aunti Anna acted babysitter for Emma while the rest of us organized the dinner. Just for your information Emma is a real social butterfly :o) |

|
| First day is ending with a spectacular evening (Swedish midnight sun with a full moon) | |
|
|
| You have to look good at your party and Jonas is helping Emma to get ready for her big day. | |

|
| In church everything went well. Emma slept through most of the cermony while uncle Adam was carrying her. Pater Mathias, Uncle Adam (Godfather), Aunti Bella (Godmother), Mom and Dad | |

|
| The cermony is almost over so it is best to wake up so that I don't miss the party and all the guests. | |
