Update: Leah doing well. Very budding gourmet cook. She married a man who hates vegetables or anything exotic. His favorite food is pizza.

Sarah. Starting second year in Austin of acupuncture school and loves it. She practiced on me recently. It was hysterical as I began to chant and “oom.” Leah was giving us dirty looks and Sarah was insisting she knew what she was doing.Zoo time!
