A Littlier Cousin


Now we are onto stop #4 and Alexandria has met her younger cousin, Sophia. And Sophia is certainly smaller - she is SO light to pick up! It's hard to remember when Lexi was that small. I am starting to get tired of this traveling around - and I think Stephen may be to. We have one week left to go befroe we depart for Nairobi. But we don't get to Nairobi until a week from Sunday, though, so the that trip in itself will be a pain.

We have rented a car in Minneapolis so that we can get around and make the drive to my parents for Thanksgiving. The car (with insurance that we had to get as we don't have any car insurance elsewhere) costs more than Stephen and my domestic US air tickets. Go figure. It is an SUV which seems horribly large but we don't have a lot of extra room with all of our stuff in it.

It's nice to see Brian and Jen - I think it has been over 2 years since we have seen them. That's quite a long time, though I don't think they have changed much - there's just now an additional person in their family! Their new house is very long and they seem to have plenty of space as well as a nice backyard.
