Updates on Nalini and the rest of us :)

So it's been a while after my last posting. Blame hurricane Ivan and hurricane Jeanne if you want to blame anyone - no, the hurricanes didn't reach us (thank God!), but they did shut down our internet provider for days. But you didn't miss anything extraordinary during this period. Our construction class finished, even though the house ws not fully built (once again, blame the hurricanes!). Nalini now has a much more extensive vocabulary - she says "ma-ma" (big smile on my face!) and "quack-quack", even though her favorite word still remains "ana" (aka "I need"). She also got her first toothbrush, and now participates actively in brushing her 6 teeth before going to bed. Wait - did I say 6 teeth? Make it 7!
