So. You're Catholic. Now what?

On Sunday, we had ourselves an old-fashioned baby dunkin'! Despite my ongoing ambivalence about my own Catholicism, it was a really nice ceremony and I was glad my parents were there and sorry that Mimi's parents weren't and moved by the whole event to the point that I might even go back to St. Therese some Sunday to see what's going on. Don't tell my Mom. (Hi Mom!)

So, Yuki is now officially one of the flock. Let the skipping of church and joining Youth Group to meet cute boys commence!

And now, pictures (all taken by friend, and crackerjack photographer, Erika):

Our friend Ellen, who chose not to feed her daughter before her baptism more than 20 years ago and still regrets the decision, suggested we feed Yuki beforehand to ensure angelic behavior. It worked! Thank you, Ellen.

The dunk! This was Deacon Greg's first baptism (Yuki was number 5 of 7 kids that day) and he didn't lose a one. Nice work, Deacon Greg.

Sin-free and loving it!

Look! Even my foot is Catholic!

Philip's parents stood in for Philip's brother and his wife who are Yuki's godparents. If you ever wondered, "What will Philip look like in 40 years?" Here is your answer.

Yuki nailed the all-important first step for any Catholic: the church giggle.

I was told there would be doughnuts. Where are the doughnuts?

shhh... don't tell anyone... I might head back to St. Therese's one day, too... I think it was the drums. And Yuki, of course, she was the best dunker ever!

Congratulations Yuki! What a truly impressive dunking! Welcome to a lifetime of guilt! (maybe you should change your blog name?) We are working on getting our little sinner washed clean someday soon, too...

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
