Had I understood the choices at hand, I may not have chosen to have these beautiful children when there is so much exciting work to be done in the world. The days I have time to pursue my other interests are the same days that I feel okay about choosing also motherhood. Here, we attempt to blog about our 5-year-old's questions AND our own questions/ideas around issues that we need to be involved in to complement our parenting.

Happy Birthday Gabri!
Gabriela took us up into the mountains above Portoprens for her b-day and then down the other side, give or take 2190 meters!!!!!, to Perido where we bought a candle and then took a taptap to the hotel in Jacmel where we met the other delegates (including the Minister of the Environment) for a 2-day environmental conference. The hotel kitchen was closed but Christophe turned a banana into something we could put Gabriela's candle into. Mèsi Christophe! Here we are singing "bon fet" (Happy Birthday) --left to right: Nahomie, Jean Remy, Estè, Matye, & Frantzo. Earlier that day Gabri's cousin Zavi was also having a party somewhere in Manitoba. . . . . .
