Sweaty hands pulling at your lower lip are never a bother, especially when they are followed by a baby's milky smile!
this video was taken right outside my house. I have other, louder videos of drumming, but I really liked the dancing in this one. Booty! How does she do it? I have been practising in front of my mirror every day since.
Actually, what is going on here is that it was the day to celebrate Saint Antonio and so four of the schools here came out to celebrate by doing a Nicaraguan battle of the bands. Basically, the girls dance and the boys play the drums. My friend tells me that this gender division is changing, but I wasn't seeing much evidence of it that day. It is loud and fun to watch though. Everyone stops working and watches as well. Naomi fell asleep in a particularly loud part. Nothing stops her naptime.
This is a video is of Maia enjoying her own brand new little umbrella. It works really well.
This picture...is ...well...a picture of Adam and the dead bat we found on the table at our place. I thought it was a piece of playdough when I first glanced at it. Perhaps that was a little trick my brain played on me, so that I could avoid the fact that THERE WAS A DEAD BAT ON OUR TABLE!!!!GROSS!
Ok, last but not least, one more pic of our little Naomi... she has her first two teeth and she's crawling a little these days. They grow faster than I remembered. Phew. She is sitting here with one of our new friends Melissa. Melissa and her husband Patrick also have a blog. I have added their blog to our page, so you can link directly to it. It is called the Chia Chronicles. My other friend Roxanne has a beautiful blog called The Art of Practice. I have also added the link to it on our blog. If you like good writing, you could take a gander. If any of you know of other blogs that you enjoy and you think should be added to ours, just let me know.
Love ya'll. Thanks for the weigh in on the soap. I will keep them in mind.

Sorry about the video everyone...it just wouldn't go through on this end either. I will try again next time
hey em dearie
glad to hear you are well. thanks for the video - fun!!! life is good in edmonton - The Works festival is on ... last night, Yolande, Karen and I went to a fundraiser for African youth ... saw some Rwandan dancers, musicians, a hip hop band, a reggae band, and some beat poetry (at the Winspear). the funniest part, was that Myint (our Karen broker) and his Karen friends were dressed up in their Karen gear, and were designated as volunteers to videotape the event. What a life - seeing Burmese refugees and African communities united :) Four more days to go at work. will be in touch soon. Love, Roxie
