March 5-11

Leonie, Freya & a blossoming cherry tree

After returning from last week’s travels, much of this week was composed of catching up in the office. On Thursday afternoon, we had a surprise visit from Caitlin McKimmey, who was here on fellowship last fall (see Sept. 19-25, 2011 post). We learned that Caitlin has just been accepted into a Master's program at Harvard, where she will be studying ‘the discourse between religion and science’. Congratulations, Caitlin!

Over the weekend we were visited by friends Freya Secrest and Jeremy Berg. On Sunday, the four of us joined Tina Rose for a walk to the Doe Bay Restaurant. While there, we also visited with past Indralaya managers Shandra & River Augenstein.

We also learned that former managers Mark Seiler and Jen Edington are now the parents of a baby girl. Naia Rena Seiler came into the world on March 5. We’re looking forward to her first Indralaya visit, whenever that might be!
