Maren's Baptism 5-1-11

Hello!

I must explain that yesterday I said there would be an imminent update, only for Google Blogger to go down for the next 24 hours, not only causing me to delay this post, but also preventing me from taking down my Imminent Update post. Sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, here it is, at last...

Maren's Baptism, May 1, 2011!

For your convenience, coverage of this event is available in three different formats:

1. Pictures

2. Video

3. Heartwarming Slide Show

You can take your pick. Or if you're Grammie, look at all three 800 times!

First up: video, courtesy of famed videographer

Deacon.

It's not quite as daring and avant-garde as his previous effort, but it serves well to document the event. About 3 minutes.

Next: the slideshow shown at church last Sunday.

DISCLAIMER: We did not know our pictures would serve as the sole content of the slideshow, hence the seeming overemphasis on Maren.

Finally, Pictures! Some of these will be repeats if you just watched the slideshow. But for the sake of completeness (and captioning), here they are again!

Maren waits!

I'll have to ask Pastor Tim if his official Baptism Bible is waterproof.

Maren is IN! Here she is with Pastor Brian and Daddy.

Done!

We celebrated at that famed Burbank institution, Dino's Pizza!

Maren waits, contemplating the Contacts on Mommy's phone.

(It is in fact an R2-D2 Droid Phone, for all you geeks out there.)

Happy!

Daddy and Maren, dried off.

It was a great day for our faithful little Valley Girl.

Thanks again for being patient with us. Soon we'll have an epic Good Eatin' post about Derek and Brent's special-ops invasion of the new Burbank Chipotle. Check back soon!
