Dalai Lama

Yesterday we went to hear the Dalai Lama speak on sustainability. It was great. I was really impressed by his humility. He first says he was asked to speak on sustainability and goes on to say that he doesn't know this English word and is not an expert. He wore a sport visor to keep the glare of the stage lights out of his eyes and looked like a little yoda up there in his chair. He talked some about environmentalism but in the greater context of compassion. He liken our use of resources to someone burning the furniture in his own home to keep warm. It was sometimes difficult to hear because we were in the way back seats and I would like to find a transcript - when I do I will post it here.

It is another beautiful morning and I am enjoying the peaceful time I get before everyone wakes up. Ian woke up three times last night but Aaron took care of it twice and I took the big nurse a thon in the middle. I'm not sure what is going on with him. He again was so upset last night when I went in to him that it took me a long time to get him calm enough to nurse. He has his 18 month check up on Wednesday so I will ask the doc what she thinks.

Ian turned 18 months yesterday. It's hard to believe he is half way to 2 years! He is growing up so fast.
