Drop goes the lightbulb

Today was a day like most except that we went out to dinner with Nastia, our interpreter, at Rainbow, a restaurant that's about 2 blocks from our apartment. Good food and it was nice to talk to someone whose last name isn't DeWitt.

Brent and Cam went for a walk this afternoon and Buffy stayed home for a power nap. Included here is a mural they found on the side of a building.

As Brent and Cameron were enjoying a banana together in the kitchen this afternoon, a lightbulb (which had been on only nanoseconds before) dropped out of the ceiling and onto the table. Not sure how that happened. Of course, none of us were wearing shoes at the time and there was glass all over the place. No injuries, but that ended the banana-eating extravaganza. We just needed to make sure we got Cam away from the mess before he decided he wanted to touch it. Bad idea. BTW, we will not be replacing the lightbulb before we leave!

Glass, I positively hate cleaning it up; it never seems to really go away. However, after paper towels, sweeps and more sweeps, it's all o.k. again. Relax, it won't be the last glass that breaks when kids are around. So glad to hear that you will be heading home SOON!
another adventure!

Hooray! You're coming home. You must be so happy and excited to introduce Cam to his new home and extended family. We are eager to meet him. Olivia asked if Cam was out of your belly today. Guess she doesn't quite understand the whole thing. Even with the pictures on the blog it must not be registering. Cam will be a big surprise to her being so big and when baby hoffman arrives that should just confuse her some more. Take care. Have a safe trip! Hope Cam cooperates!
