My friend Alexis came over for the day. She is one amazingly talented (and humble) professional photographer. Caleb and I had had the audacity to ask her to bring her camera for our daily photo-shoot but...It was raining. Cats and dogs. So our previously imagined picnic and any other outdoor activity had to be nixed. But alas, against all odds, what seemed to be a gloomy morning gave room to a very enjoyable time. Here are some highlights:
-My dogs kept trying to attack Alexis. One of them successfully bit her. It didn't hurt, so you're allowed to smirk and I'm allowed to write about it.
-We had tacos for lunch and my dad's papaya cream for dessert. In one word, amazing.
-My sister and her husband were playing Super Mario Wii when his character Luigi died. As he came back to life, floating in a bubble, my sister accidentally killed him again. Domestic violence?
-Alexis and my little brother Johnny kept teaching Caleb wrong Portuguese words (i.e guitar=catarro, which really means phlegm) and he believed them! Johnny, in turn, still believes Alexis' lie about her medical condition: She has an irrational fear of green eyes :-).
-We finally went outside just before sunset and took some good pictures, out in the lamp-lit street.
Alexis leaves in 19 days, because her tourist visa is expiring. She is trying to figure out if she should come back on a student visa or not. One of those times when we just need to understand what God has planned. Please pray for her as she makes these important decisions.
