Makeda's Birthdate

Two weeks ago we found out that (via a wrist xray) Makeda is only 3 years old; not 4 1/2 years old like we were originally told. That makes Makeda and Simret more like "twins". We have finally decided on a birthdate for her. June 21, 2007- the solstice - the first day of summer. I couldn't imagine a more special day.

"The wind had the proper touch, the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow. You had only to rise, lean from your window, and know that this indeed was the first real time of freedom and living, this was the first morning of summer." (Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury)
