Our biggest baby

Expelliarmus molluscum contagiosum!

One molluscum virus down, one to go. A daily treatment of either apple cider vinegar or essential oil of oregano diluted in olive oil, with a covering bandage, finally worked. It was disgusting, as the bump fell off in bloody chunks, but one is gone. Wahoo! On to the next!

A minute of sanity


This is my futile attempt to create some order amidst the confusion of the world.

Dancing


Here, the baby hipster is dancing to the tunes of Biruktawit and Getayawkal, an Ethiopian gospel-singing couple. We listen to that CD about five times a day. Thanks, Abel!

GRITSy


He said, trembling, "Tita, please move this stuff so I won't be grabbing it."

Building the "Chicago House"


Inspired by don Da'b'e, GRITS is quite excited about constantly recreating the "Chicago House," complete with green roof.

God is too good

We don't deserve any good thing, yet God has made us His own and treats us accordingly.

We don't deserve good friends. We don't deserve to have our prayers heard. We don't deserve to have vegetarian meals brought to us. We don't deserve to have an understanding boss. We don't deserve peace. We don't deserve sleep. We don't deserve the promise of life with God. And the list goes on...

God is too good to us. Thank you, God.
