The baby is here
All the info I have are in these two emails from my mama, no pictures yet.
baby lanna anne was born this afternoon, bangkok time around 3:30 p.m., don't know exact time yet, and she weighs around 3.6 kg, but don't know exact weight yet, and have no clue how long she is.... hope to have more info tomorrow. lanna is beautiful, fair with dark hair, waiting to see what color eyes she has. good set of lungs, keeping all those black hair yellow skin babies in the nursery awake with her cries!!
tanya doing well, much better than the first time around in california.
will send pictures and more info tomorrow. we weren't allowed to take pictures of the baby through the nursery window and we left the hospital before they brought the baby to the room because tiraya was getting upset about seeing tanya in the bed and not being able to get in the bed with her, she had been at the hospital with us all day, so she was pretty tired and cranky.
will email more!!
Like Heidi my first thought was how is that pronounced...and this was the reply
"lah nah," means plains and rice fields, so in other words, abundance.... (actually kind of like lana turner, but we didn't want the rednecks calling her lay nah...)
she's so cute, we're going to the hospital now. wah wah woke up this morning and said "go" and when I asked her go where?, she made a gesture like rocking a baby and said 'baby" so i think she wants to go see tanya and the baby.
we're having a civil unrest at the moment, not a military coup d'etat, but a civilian take over of t.v. stations and government buildings... i'll keep you posted!!
After we confirmed the pronunciation Daniel immediately started singing
She's Lanna
From Tijuana
sits in the sauna
She drives a Honda
She's Lanna
I'm pretty sure none of those things are true but I have not meet her yet so I cannot be sure.
p.s. civil unrests and coups aren't uncommon in Thailand so don't freak out but I suppose prayers in their direction never hurt.

Some quotes I collected this week
"What's that guy about?" Daniel when he saw Chris Murphy (pictured above) looking bumish on the grass at Ava's birthday. He didn't know it was Chris and said it in front of a bunch of his family members hahaha.
"I think the customer will understand." 99cent store rep on TV speaking of raising their prices. No I don't think I'd understand.
"It's a big fat sausage, how is it swimming?" Daniel about the hippos pictured below
"Had I known I'd be around this many people I'd have gotten a Mohawk" Ebay after explaining that the barber at his black barbershop was trying to talk him into getting a Mohawk earlier that day
"Mrs. Fischer I poked my eye with general grievous." a new kindergartner, while rubbing his eye, to Cathy after church where he was playing with an action figure

Enjoying the Olympics
Daniel and I are really enjoying the Olympics. I have the VCR set to record all the gymnastics and the diving. Apparently Daniel has never seen synchronized diving so that is pretty fun...that reminds me we've got to look up synchronized swimming and I didn't see rhythmic gymnastics, do they not do that any more? Any ways the gymnasts are fun but our favorite has to be watching Bob (Uptown) Costus and Bela Karolyi in between things. Bela is not shy at all that he thinks that the Chinese are using underage gymnasts and that there is cheating going on. And it's fun to see how Costus handle's Bela's super harsh remarks. If you haven't seen it you should look it up, it's pretty funny.
Well thank goodness it let me type this we've had major computer drama which I posted about on the raegun blog, but I'm mostly used to it so I don't want to ruin my decent mood by posting about it here.

What's going on
We've been super busy, overwhelmingly so and things keep on breaking adding to our already stressed days.
Here's a review of the week...
1. Finally got over to the Murphy Abode to meet baby Stryder who is reported to sleep less than Ava (yikes). I guess he'll handle 30 minutes and then wake himself up. So those guys are tired. But he definitely is cudley. Daniel found himself doing the chick dance with Ava as you can see in the video.
2. Nada Surf at Gallivan where I saw the infamous Jose. I guess they flew him in to do guitar tech stuff just for the day.
3. We did pool and dinner with Heidi and Daniel which was lots of fun. And I tried a new recipe...tollhouse pie, I really liked it. It's here if you want to peek (I halved the butter and added a tsp of vanilla).
4. Our car was in the shop twice this week yes I think that's a total of 5 times over the last 3 weeks.
5. The computer is on it's last leg to get power it likes the plug to be completely hanging out, so only balanced and it keeps shutting down without warning. So we bought a new one and what did they have there...a wii fit. So we got that too. It's nice not to have enough money to charge things but I guess it helps that we don't spend that much to begin with, but yeah so we had a big spending day which was a bit stressful.
6. We're successfully jugglying the one car in spite of Daniel's yucky new schedule that they forced onto all state workers. It's supposed to be 8:30 am to 7pm M-F but from what I see from the parking lot most people aren't sticking to those schedules and I haven't meet one person who doesn't complain about it. Daniel reports that many people are seeking other means of employment. It doesn't look like the State thought through this decision very well.
7. Lots of meetings, sewing, pushing the video, grades were due, all of that normal stuff. So we're good but we've been non-stop and battling little fires.
8. Oh and we've had lots of fun watching So You Think You Can Dance, especially Tabitha and Napoleon's choreography, but we totally disagree with America's voting through the whole thing.
