After a nice summer break, classes are back in session, and so here I am writing the blog. The summer has been widely eventfully with visits from both families, great white sharks, baby Avery, a huge power outage, and a biofluorescent algae bloom.
Baby Avery has conituned to grow, and grow, grow...She just went to the doctor yesterday got a nice shot and was told she weighs around 15 lbs. That is around 10 lbs less than Ellie. She talks to us all the time in an unknown language, and now sleeps through the night. She can also stand if you let her grab on to your fingers. Enjoy the pics.
Ellie has also continued to grow and has found her emotional side. You wouldn't think that someone could get so sad over an empty box of Oatmeal Squares. She has also become quite the dancer. Just put on a good song and watch the magic happen.
Moving on, early in September there was a power outage that cause around 5 million people to lose power for around 10 hours to 2 days. Luckily we were in the 10 hour group, but it was crazy to watch San Diego deal with the emergency. Traffic was outrageous, stores had to throw away tons of frozen goods, and many, many people were seen just wandering the streets. We ended up having a neighborhood party with about 30 people, and then living by candle light for a few hours.
Finally, these last two weeks we have had a huge red algae bloom. The water has turned a dark brown, and amazingly at night the algae gives off a blue florescent glow. It is amazing. It is hard to describe so just enjoy the pictures.
Well, that's about all for this week. Enjoy your week and don't forget to look around and help those who need it.
Best,
A-JEM
