saved through childbirth

 My wardrobe is severely limited these days. I actually go out in public dressed like this (minus the sweatshirt and ponytail). I tell myself that a pregnant women is beautiful but sometimes I feel like a clown. (36 weeks here)

 Nehemiah is serious about cleanliness.
Here's a story about him that happened yesterday: We were all at the park. I was sitting on a park bench with my pad of paper and phone sitting next to me. Nehemiah (5 yrs old) walked over with a pitcher of water. While the pitcher was hovering over my phone, he tripped. Then he looked down with a contemplative frown and said, "I hope that is an underwater phone".
 I laughed and said that it wasn't, and neither was my pad of paper.

 This is the little field that all the neighborhood children play on every day. It's a casual way to learn Spanish and some of the children are trying to learn English from my children. Those are the Andes in the background. They look quite close and magnificent usually. I love them.
