Hi everyone,

Just a few items I'd like to share with you all during World
Breastfeeding Week.  First, my youngest daughter, K'Ehleyr turned 2 years
on Friday.  How appropriate she was born on August 1st!  She is still
nursing.

We had our walk at a well known beach park here, and received some media
coverage.  One of our fellow lactnetters (Jahaan) was interviewed as
well.  We then went over to the shopping center across from the beach to
continue the celebration with a healthy breastfed baby and mother
contest.  This was sponsored by other groups which promote breastfeeding.

I am now sorry that I did not enter with K'Ehleyr.  Initially, we were
going to enter wearing traditional Vietnamese clothes, but mine do not
fit very well anymore.  These clothes are made to fit snug, and mine were
made before I was married--many moons ago!  When we were watching the
contestants, I thought we could have dressed as Klingons in honor of my
daughter.  :)  One of our local media personalities was the emcee, so
this event received media coverage as well.  It was a great day!

Aloha,
