I wrote a month ago about my first Hispanic baby shower. (And then went virtually blog-silent … home renovations have consumed almost all my time – sorry!) 

Well last night after our service, the Hispanic church headed over to visit Manuel, Ana, big sister Nicole, Tío (Uncle) Noe and the new baby, Alisson.  What a cutie!

Alisson Sohat Contreras 7-18-2010 faceup

Her middle name is Sohat (pronounced “soe-ahht,” the “h” is silent) which means “joy” or “blessing.”  Which, of course, the whole experience of getting to be friends with her family has been for me and mine!
