Hurry up and write

Quick while Lillian is still sleeping a 2+ hour midday nap (and Jackson too sick to show up today) I'll write a few words.

Yesterday was incredible, it rained hard and long. Another big dead branch fell from one of our trees in the front. I'm not sure if this will help my cause in convincing Kyle that we don't need to buy a chainsaw (to cut down dead branches, and anything else around the home). We also realized after our patio disappeared under water that it's not a good storage spot. However with today's sun it has already dried up so maybe we'll venture out for our lunch.

Not much to report since Kyle's London adventures. We have been enjoying some true english tea in the morning (and afternoon) which has tasted very nice with shortbread. Kyle is currently recovering from a bad sprain on Friday at his regular bball game. Fortunately it's not as bad as we'd thought - the RICE therapy working well. He was able to go on his field trip today (grad students on a field trip you say?!) - I'll have to get back to you for an explanation for that one.

The walking video was taken last Friday (5 days ago) and she's all over the place now with little hesitation. I'm just waiting for that first big bump or scape on her forehead to come. I'll try to post a photo this afternoon since there hasn't been one of her in awhile.

On another note, most of you know that we said goodbye to Rachel who left for Uganda on the 21st. She's now in Kampala safely arrived and will leave for Fort Portal (her new home for the next 14 months) in a couple days. Her email and blogging will be much more limited of course but you can check out old posts or perhaps a new one at fortportal.wordpress.com. (There's also a link to the left- Rachel in Uganda.)
