Our good neighbor's gave birth to their son about a month ago, and now Mommy and Baby are finally allowed to leave the house. (that's a big culture thing... no leaving the house for a whole month!)
They gave a huge party. She came and got me at 10 AM, we went to get our hair styled (see below) and the had a huge lunch. Scott and I packed up to go home and they were like, "Where are you going? We're going to play cards until dinner."
We opted out of the crazy card tables, but they picked us up in the evening for another huge meal. Good times.
Look at my crazy "do"
oh yeah, look at that rats nest!
Here's violet and her son, who we gave the English name John (meaning "God is Gracious")
We were sad that we dominated most of the attention at the party. In the afternoon, I left Joelle with Kirsten so we could celebrate with them without drawing a crowd of fifty people wanting to look at the foreigner's baby.
I snapped this woman's picture and then let her look at it- I told her she was CUTE and she got so tickled... she pushed me away and cackled for a good five minutes, then walked away muttering "the foreigner thinks I'm cute." HA
ps... didn't think you'd ever see a post that wasn't completely about Joelle, did you? hee hee

You do such a great job keeping up with your blog. Can you help me with mine when you get home. I would love to do something with it, but I don't know how to get around on the website very well.
