Babies and Breeding

We here at Les fous, would like to extend our heartiest congratulations to Greg and Suzy who will be the proud parents of a baby come September 22, along with our sincerest hope that they will not be arrested in the process of their home delivery. Also we would like to point out that their baby looks like this:






It no longer has a tail and it is starting to look like a cute little human. Awwww.

Not a lot else going on in fair Denain. We have 3 more weeks of teaching until holiday, and then one week after. We have just bought tickets to spend a few days in Seville with Rob and Stephanie before going to Lisbon with some other assistant friends before meeting up with Crystal, Sam, Mandy, and Gabe in Paris before coming home! We also recently learned that another good friend, Chris, will be spending a month in Europe starting in just a couple of weeks and we're hoping to meet up with him in the South of France while we're there with my mom. We have been really lucky that so many people have been able to come. It really helps curb the homesickness.

Let's see, what else is up.

Just as Spain's windy season ends, ours has begun.
I (Caitlin) have applied for a job in Portland, hope to hear more tomorrow.
There is an epidemic of chickenpox circulating among the faculty's children.
Kade and I have built a blanket fort in our living room, and I'm typing from there now.
Now that the writer's strike is over, we are enjoying the Daily Show once again via the internet.
Kade's family will be visiting the first week in April.
We're counting the days until we can see you all again.

So stay classy, whether you're in Missouri, Portland, Spain
, or Japan.

Wait, what? What job did you apply for? I will cross my job-hunting fingers for you!

Call me soon. Aric will be visiting this weekend, maybe we can put you on speakerphone :)

I miss you guys mucho. It's starting to get beautiful again in Portland and the farmers market opens in a month. Can't wait 'til you're here to go with us!

Thanks for the picture of our kid! :P Our being arrested isn't as much of a worry as the midwife being arrested would be but we'll likely head over to Kansas for the actual birth to bypass the laws anyways. Thanks on the hearty congratulations and we'll be missing you both while you're visiting Seville and Portugal ::tear::

It is so comforting to know the tiny fetus has a spleen! The illustration is so informative. Thanks for the update and we are certainly keeping the old fingers crossed for you as the search for long term gainful employment begins. Try not to worry too much, you are a gift to anyone who hires you!! I love you and I will see you soon (really, I will!). Love, MOM

I agree with your mother, I am very relieved to know that baby beitling now has it's spleen.

1. It's Stefanie not Stephanie and
2. I find it highly inappropriate that you posted pictures of the inside of Suzy's vagina. The outside will do nicely, thanks.



:P

Looking forward to seeing you!!
