One of our neighbors had a baby last week, a little baby boy. We were eating outside and their daughter told us that her little brother had been born and was back from the hospital. A lot of our neighbors stopped to congratulate the family and then after we had dinner we stopped by as well.
You weren't really into meeting the baby but got much more into it once we sat down and were offered chocolates and honey cookies to welcome the new child. Our neighbors are from Oman and are here at CU while the Daddy completes his PhD. You play with their three older children, mostly the two young brothers who you like to chase around. The house was full of a few women from their masjid, one from Oman, one from Dubai, and one from Saudi Arabia, all here at CU completing their studies. The women were taking care of everything for the Mommie, Maria. They were cooking and cleaning and entertaining while Maria got to rest while her new baby son slept on the floor next to her.
So nice to see, this community of women, caring for each other.
