What a difference two weeks makes








Christiana returns to her professional life this week, Michael to his dissertation-writing burrow in the Yale library, and so far, so good! Prior to the return to some semblance of normality (not that 'normal' will ever mean the same thing again...), we went to NYC for a baby shower for Craig and Heather Lottner, where Montana met her first true peer: Baby Phoebe, born two days prior to Montana, but approximately 4 inches shorter. (We birthed a giant.) We spent that night at Alice's apartment, complete with a visit from Rita as she transitions back to life in the US after months at Taize, and Lolo and John too! Kate Bonzon came by New Haven for a wonderful and expansive evening of Indian food and conversation while on a business trip for Environmental Defense, working with fishermen on Cape Cod. Montana continued to smile, burp, spit up, swing her arms, and sleep through all of it. And she tried out her new Scottish cashmere mittens. Not bad for a two-month old!
