I'll have some video up hopefully by the weekend. My friend and former fellow 8th grade CCD teacher Sarah did a great job with the camera. Unfortunately, she filmed almost the entire thing, which makes the editing job that much harder. ;-) (Thank you, Sarah, for filming it, though. I had planned to do it myself somehow, but I'm glad you volunteered. Or did we volunteer you?)
Similarly, thanks you Clayton for working the still camera.
All in all it went well. Two other babies were baptized, both girls, one of whom was a redhead. Not surprisingly, she was loud and an attention-hog. Heh. Joseph slept through most of it after eating almost four ounces of milk. He graciously opted NOT to puke or poop on my suit, and his vintage baptismal gown remained unsoiled. He was a little bit shocked when Fr. K. poured the water on his head, and unfortunately the video doesn't quite capture the comic look of alarm on his face from all three pours. It went something like: "I baptize you in the name of the Father," (gasp!) "The Son," (gawk!), "and the Holy Spirit" (ack!)
Everyone kept asking "Does this kid ever cry?"
Does this kid ever cry...
I'll have to invite them over to our place at 3AM...
Anyway, if he's happy about his new sainthood, he's not talking. Kind of same-old, same-old for him, although his appetite has increased significantly...
