aria in art--- look, she's even wearing a pink robe! jiji
i talked to aria last night, despues de tanto tiempo sin poder conversar con ella ~ it was so nice to talk and laugh and cry and then laugh again! i think the hardest thing about being far away is only being able to connect through phone and random blog entries (hehehe)... i miss saturday mornings sitting on on our blue couch with our blue&white flowery mugs drinking cafecito, looking out at all the sunvillagers, giggling like little munchkins :)

i don't think i ever expressed how amazed and impressed and proud i was of her, and how honored i was to be at the birth of sasha... it happened so fast in my mind, although for her i'm sure the minutes couldn't go fast enough!, because i had just arrived and was just getting used to seeing her with her pansota preciosa... the contractions had started already when she picked me up from the airport (que mujer!)... she was so strong, so focused, and so pleasant (as only aria can be in the most difficult situations!) throughout the whole labor, and when it came time to push, all her energy was concentrated on that one task... i couldn't stop the tears from coming when sasha was actually born (though i did have to literally stop myself from trying to catch her as she came out! soooo tempting to pretend i'm a midwife already!) and then to see aria and james lying together, cuddiling sasha just minutes after she came into this world, looking so in love with eachother and so amazed at what had just been accomplished... i was in such a daze afterwards, giving them time together with their new daughter, i couldn't believe i had just witnessed such an awe-inspiring thing!

oh, and by far, my most "que mujer!" moment was watching aria snore peacefully as they sewed her stitches... :D
