1. I have a new nephew!!! Reed Beckham Stephenson was born last Saturday in truly dramatic fashion. I am very sad to have missed his arrival, but look forward to officially meeting him in August. Reed, if you're reading this, please pencil in me and Little Bit for some serious couch-sitting when we get back.
2. Volunteers / Hair Stylists. We were talking to Edu's mom the other day and mentioned that he needed a haircut. She said, "You want to do it?" Umm, yes. Is there any question? So this is the result. He's one cute kid under that mop.
3. Thanks to donations from Crane Creek Baptist Church and our other friends, we purchased supplies to put a roof on Edu's house. Getting the supplies into the barrio was not without some drama. We started building this morning (Bill is going to elaborate on that tomorrow).
4. My career as a Pre-school Teacher's Assistant is officially over. Jardin was dismissed for Winter Break on Friday, and by the time it re-convenes, we will be sailing off (read: sitting on a bus) to Brazil for World Youth Day. Should I pretend to be sad? I really will miss the kids, but as the Sisters say, "Unlike your mother, teaching is not your vocation." (Now if only they had some wisdom as to what my vocation actually is.)
5. Sister Noemi is back after visiting her family in Spain. To celebrate, we pulled out a few hearts to decorate the dining room. I quit asking questions after the five identical Jesus pictures appeared.
6. Little Bit made her appearance at Mama Helen's Fourth of July breakfast in a couture party dress. Designer: Emily Brammell Callis.
