Jennifer and Dan had their baby this weekend and yesterday we got to see her! Her name is Mara, and she is soo tiny. But I'm sure part of that perception is due to the fact that Luke is nearly 3 times her size. She and Luke got along quite well considering neither of their pairs of eyes can quite focus on one another yet. See how red her hair is? We love her. She wasn't expected for another two weeks and her grandparents just happened to be out for a short visit and got to see her the day she was born! We also had a sad visit yesterday. We said good-bye to Carl, Kathy, Joel, Kezia and Asha. It was wonderful to sit and talk and drink tea for a few hours, but I felt like the most miserable marmot in the world when I had to say, "It's time to go". It was the last thing I wanted to do, but we had dinner plans in Niverville, and they had dinner plans with Kathy's family. Their kids have grown so much this summer, I will be sad to miss their growth over the next three years. Kathy has been a wonderful friend throughout my pregnancy, many tuesdays, and our husband's theses. And although her leaving does not mean the end of our friendship, she has to leave all the same. MCC in Bolivia awaits. If you are interested in watching their progress, click on Kathy's name on the top right.
Several people have requested more videos of Luke. But Luke does not do many things worth video-taping these days. He mostly stares at things that I see absolutely nothing interesting in, like the wall for example. If he's not staring at random objects he's screaming, smiling, or working on some very personal projects of his (ie filling his diaper). The screaming and personal projects are not really enjoyable to watch on video. But I've tried to capture some other daily emotions and activities that you might find amusing. Today it's a sneeze:
