“Buh!”, hope I did not scare anyone. Just wanted to say “hi”, and yes I am still alive. Work has taken over a good junk of it but for now I am back.
There are two reasons I am here tonight, the first one is that I just submitted my second real paper, as usual after the last minute. The second is that in the course of hyper tension, minutes before the deadline, not knowing whether I would get to finish and submit that paper after all, I got an email from Al with one of the cutest pictures of my little darling Maus, Sofia. Although it is Al’s pic, I just cannot resist putting it up right away to share with all of you (who probably got used to looking elsewhere for interesting Jalics blogs that seem to keep spouting out of nowhere).
Anyway, so as soon as Al brings up her new post, I’ll take this one down. Don’t tell here though, pshhhht! 
What an absolutely adorable picture! You have been too quiet lately, now I know why. We pray that the pregnancy is going well.
Big love,
Alice and Barney
