Auntie Em! Auntie Em! There's no place like home...

My sister's fortnight with us came to an end today, and she's off back to Africa via a couple of weeks in England.  She lives in Uganda; as long as we could provide consistent electrical supply and an Internet connection faster than dial-up, she's been happy!  A lot of Grey's Anatomy watching has taken place.

We've also embarked on a culinary tour, taking in such highlights as In'n'Out, Krispy Kreme, and the Pyramid Brewery.  Pete has been educated in these fine establishments too - obesity is his American birthright! - and has been enjoying much time with the family member he resembles most.  Em, pediatric nurse that she is, has been patient in answering all my "is this medically normal?" questions.  And ones about the baby too.  Come back soon Em...mainly because tomorrow is my first day alone with the child...



Too cold to jump in, apparently.  Africa has turned her soft.



Gastro-tour stop one.


Gastro-tour stop two.


Potential career move.


She then turned to homemade treats: oat cookies.


She also had time to knit Pete a few fine clothes, including this hat, which he appreciates very much.


Throwing in some education along the way (with fab BabyLit books she brought).



She even got to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with us.


She will be missed (I'm going to have to get used to being sicked on).
