Oklahoma here we come!

In five more days we’ll be on our way to Oklahoma for the Linguistics Practicum.  Danica and another student will be meeting together with a language helper and analyzing the Cherokee language.  This is a practice exercise in “the real thing”, under the supervision of our linguistics teacher from MTC.

If you’ve seen us lately, you can probably tell by the watermelon-ish proportions of the baby-belly that our due date is fast approaching!  We expect the baby to be born in Oklahoma with the assistance of a midwife there.  In spite of limited interent access, we will try to get the news out one way or another…and let you know if its a boy or a girl.  🙂

To all of you in Wisconsin…we love you and see you again in six weeks!

Love,
The Rich family
