Breki Jarl Nökkvason
[Happened on 25 May 2015, posted on 29 May 2015. I hope.]
Nökkvi and Jóhanna’s newest was Christened this past Monday. It was a public holiday (second in Whitsunday), so downtown by Fríkirkjan was quiet.
Finnur and the big kids were in an airplane, returning from England, so they missed the whole shebang. Finnur was also in possession of both the new camera (70D) and the wide lens, so I was stuck with the 50 mm lens, and the old camera (40D… slow! loud! no video!). Hence the slightly weird photos.
Now, the name was a secret until the priest said it out loud, and it was…
Breki Jarl it is! Jóhanna did a beautiful job decorating!
Breki Jarl is an amalgamation of the middle names of two of my brothers, Pétur Breki and Nökkvi Jarl. This completes the naming of Nökkvi’s children after his and his siblings’ middle names (Ylfa Marín and Hrefna Marín, Iðunn Heiður and Bjarni Heiðar).
But, back to the pictures. ALL OF THESE PHOTOS AND MORE ARE HERE! CLICK! (If you don’t click, you’ll find 43 images total on this page)
Inside Fríkirkjan (The Free Church.)
Mad hair skillz on display!
Being welcomed by Rev. Hjörtur Magni.
He got all the smaller kiddos to sit on the floor in front, and the bigger people to stand in a close circle. He knows what he’s doing!
Getting the psalm book.
Singing in progress.
The god/grandmothers read scripture bits.
Happy times as the name is made public.
What is going on?!?
Head warming.
Silly zoom lens.
Yes, that’s Anna’s old dress from Sarah and Augusto’s wedding. Best money I ever spent at the Gap, as it’s been thoroughly used by 4 kids or so since then.

Yet another grandchild to dote on! 🙂

Eating time!
Jóhanna practicing her patience muscles.
“I will eat you up!”
Chatting.
More chatting.
The very sleeping star of the party.
The little kids ran around constantly! So much so that they started shedding clothes to cool off.
Relaxing is good.
Zzzz…!
Jóhanna designed and built that crib in art school. Who says art is useless?
Where’s my wide field lens?
Gift opening time.
Emma amazed.
He got lots of clothes!
Running around with big cousins is so much fun!
Three generations.
Daddy with two of three.
Giving kisses is fun.
