I also heard via the book of faces that our very own D. Confer and his wife Mia had their second child, during a sandstorm, in Dubai. [Did I get that right?] How exciting! Her name is Flannery, and I'm still waiting to hear whether the middle name is Eugenia, after her father. And in case you hadn't heard from other sources, Amber and Ben W. had their third little girl nearly one month ago. I haven't had the chance to meet her yet but she is beautiful just like her mom.
Also, Ms. Diane C. R. S. and her husband Dave recently moved into a neat little house closer to the city, in the Hyde Park neighborhood, I believe. It looks like a home from the early part of the 20th century, when they converted houses into multiple apartments to rent to families during the war. Diane has a passion for the city, and for the black community especially, so this was a meaningful and intentional action on their part. Their second anniversary is this weekend, and I heard a rumor that pumpkin-hunting is being plotted.
My cousin Gabe turned 30 this last week as well, hard to believe. And Tiff and Chris will be home from Mongolia at the end of the year, hurray!
I myself have nothing to report, other than being tired after cleaning out the sacristy today. If you don't know the term, it's basically the little back room in the church where priests change into their holy garments (like the one Julie and I accidentally snuck into at St. Peter's in Rome), and where "sacred...treasures are kept". I love being the keeper of the treasures--washing the Communion serving ware (chalice and paten), choosing banners for each worship service (paraments), lighting the Christ candle, etc. It's not exactly something they taught us how to do in seminary, but it's a form of holy hospitality that I enjoy along with my regular worship planning duties. That's my celebration.
