Kaia and Theo have been getting along so well lately. He is now going to bed with her at night regularly. As we leave he cries a little bit but she somehow calms him quickly and they quietly fall asleep. This morning when Theo woke up Kaia was the first to go and greet him. When I came back to see them they were lounging together on the bed just chilling out and 'chatting'. My babies are growing up!
HI Roxanne and Lindy!!!
Funny the people that end up in your lives. Last summer we were stranded for 4 weeks in Ottawa in a trashy house with no car, a suitcase of our belongings, and a big ol' pregnant belly. Roxanne came to our rescue and took such good care of us. Only a year and a half later we have had the pleasure of hosting Roxanne and her daughter Lindy. They must have had a great time because they sent their friends Barry and Evelyn for dinner. It was a really nice night and it only took about 10 minutes for both our kids to love them. Carl told them they remind him of his own parents and they do... must be the Canadian grandparent syndrome :)
Barry originally came 2 years ago with his son and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. No small feat for a man in his 60's! He was moved by the country and the people and went home to raise funds and awareness. With the money he raised he is building schools and a well for a primary school in Mwanza. He and Evelyn came to see the finished projects and to meet the children that would be using them. Sort of a grandpa Mortenson, he is truly inspirational. He is now writing a book about his amazing experience so let me know if it is something you are interesting in reading.
Thank you Carl and P.J. for hosting us at your place! It was wonderful to meet you two and Kaia and Theo. We really enjoyed your company and the wonderful dinner.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words above as well. The Epilogue for the book has been written and is with the editor. We will let you know when it is published.
Hope to see you this summer.
Barry and Evelyn
