Twelve: My middle name is not Daily
March 17, 2009
Time to take some photos already. Yes, yes it is.
Grace is everywhere.
1. This morning my gas can (for my stove) ran out. Two beautiful things: My dear neighbors in the back allowed me to run over with my porridge pot to finish cooking breakfast. And my landlord brought another gas can by, just in time for me to start cooking lunch. "I knew you would want it for cooking," he said.
2. Miriam had a cooking evening with the kids today and made Puris in the shape of dogs and hearts and flowers. They were so proud to host a little dinner for us with food that they made themselves.
3. I swam with Chinua today, something we have done three times in the last five months of living by the sea. It was wonderful.
4. Chinua and I like to pretend we are Wall E and Eve.
5. YaYa told that I'm the most beautiful girl in the whole world. Just me, she said. But don't feel bad, you are the second, I'm sure. And another one thrown in there- today we took Kid A's cast off and everythings seems fine and we are DONE with the cast. Hooray, because a six year old with no use of his right hand is about the same as a three year old, with dressing and eating and stuff like that. Maybe a two year old.

That you guys pretend you're Wall-E and Eve makes you, quite possibly, some of the coolest people I've never met :)
Good to hear Kid A is done with the cast! That was a long time for a busy boy.
swimming with your man, that is a sweet moment. Will hope for more moments like that for you two. Glad Kid A can be done with his cast! That was a long journey indeed.
I just watched Wall E today with my son who was home ill with the flu. That relationship between Wall E and Eve is beautiful as is your writing. I was so wonderfully surprised to see you use that relationship in this weeks blog post. AND I must say how happy I am for you to have that special time with your wonderful husband. These brief moments are so important and so treasured between man and wife. God bless.
So glad Kid A's arm is better :)

YaYa has good taste.
What is wall E and Eve? Sorry, I must be out of the loop for sure. Some of your neighbours sound wonderful!
Tell Kid A congrats!
