GOOD LUCK, Zaf and Chels, and safe travels to New Zealand. May you both find strength in each other as you both develop in your marriage and your life outside the good US of A. Chels, I hope you find your professional interests while down there, and Zaf, it was great getting to know you, and very best of everything with the furthering of your professional goals as well. I have family in Christchurch!! Allah'u'Abha :-)
Our Night --
Angelica picked up Adwoa and brought her to our place this afternoon. It was fun having alone time for Ethan to meet his Auntie Adj. Ethan was a bit nervous even though he had met Adwoa when he was very wee - 2 months old? But with stranger anxiety kicking in even stronger these days, he took some time to warm up to Adj. Still, they look great together don't they?
Actually, Adwoa arrived not long before Zaf and Chels' leaving party, which we all attended together. It was potluck meal and we provided ice cold watermelon, which was a favourite. Songs were sung, including a native pacific island (New Zealand?) jingle with accompanying actions which Larissa and Chelsea demonstrate so well to the group of friends (see vid above).
More and more friends started piling in to the small clubhouse, with more songs and food to be had, though we made an early exit, as come to be expected, since we had no diapers left in Ethan's diaper bag (should have checked before leaving the house - just assumed always have at least one in there).
Now back home, Noomz is bathed and clean and nursing and off to la-la land. Sweet dreams my boy.
