My baby got baptized

First of all - a refrigerator update. The repairman FINALLY came at 7:15 on Friday night. Holy crap, I was in panic mode. As I suspected, it was the motherboard, which is normally a $285 part. But since it was so late, he only charged me $100 and now my refrigerator is as good as new. Phew!

Braden's parents came in town on Friday early evening and then my parents, sister, brother, sister-in-law, and niece came on Saturday morning. It was really cold here (but fortunately the chance of snow didn't produce), so we headed to the new indoor pool. Blythe went down the slide "like a hundred times" and even yours truly went down the slide (it really was a lot of fun). Brynn liked the pool until she started getting splashed (and tired), so then she liked sleeping at the pool.

Blythe and Ethan could have swum for hours probably (and Ada too), but we didn't want to push nap time TOO much.

Then on Sunday, my baby was baptized. Isn't she beautiful in her christening dress?

The rest of us didn't look too bad either.

And here's the star with her godparents (and aunt and uncle) Doug and Lynette:

Brynn did great with the baptism even though she was SO tired (and fell asleep not 5 minutes later). Ethan TRIED to steal her thunder by making faces at the crowd during the baptism. He's always trying to make people laugh, that silly boy.

Anyway, it was a very, very nice weekend and we all had a good time. Here's a few more pics from the weekend.
