This morning at Divine Liturgy we witnessed the baptism, chrismation, and first reception of Holy Communion of a baby boy. It was beautiful; the rites were far more involved than what we have been accustomed to. The Easterners really have a sense for symbolism.
Tonight Miriel Thomas (sister of two of John's classmates from Ave) came over for dinner. Dinner was interesting... I thought I had bought cans of tomato sauce, but it was just whole tomatoes. So the sauce was pretty watery, but it turned out alright. It might take awhile, but I suppose I'll get used to shopping when all the labels are in German! For dessert we had some delicious swiss and austrian chocolate, which Maria particularly enjoyed.

I remember when that outfit was too big for Maria. What are you feeding her?
Well, chocolate and ketchup according to the last couple of pictures :)
And the clear-colored liquid she's toting in this picture is the famed "Kinder-bier" that makes children grow like weeds...
;-)
