New traditionalists
Jeanne recently took a trip to northern Ethiopia in the Tigray Region (click for a map, written like this: ትግራይ ክልል and pronounced: Tigrāy Kilil). In Mekele our friends there suggested that the girls should also have traditional dresses to reflect the style worn in that region.
Our girls thought this was a great idea of course. Jacob on the other hand thought his purple geode was a much better present – he loves it in the way only a young boy can love a rock. The girls, even little Claire, love their dresses in a way that just goes beyond what a fellow like me could explain. Some things are just fundamental I suppose.
Great to check you guys out. We miss you!
