Better?

So, I packed up three action packers and sent them off to the field area ahead of me. I packed things tightly, for their truck rides and sling landing, and waterproofly, for their barge time. Should be good.

My brother turned down offers of help with errands and water hauling (he lives in a cabin w/out water). Not much other communication from him. I'm really struggling - I'd like to see him soooo much, and I think this thing between him and my parents is awful, but the ball is *really* in his court, and he doesn't care.
I'd like to invite him out to dinner. I think he wouldn't come unless we invited his gf, too, though. And I'm not sure how I feel about that. I strongly feel that she is harming him - and yet, that's really his call, isn't it? I think we'll invite both of them, expect that he'll say no, and be very happily surprised if he/they accept. It would be good to see him again.

B is growing! More than an inch in the last month. No wonder she wakes up hungry in the middle of the night.

Recently watched "Seducing Dr. Lewis" which was truly funny, despite us not speaking French so we had to read the subtitles.

Still haven't found a new church. :(
And, as I'm leaving for Augustine soon, probably won't until mid-August, at the earliest.
