OUR SECOND MADAGASCAR HISSING COCKROACHES BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

 

See Isabella's birth announcement from last week.

       The first thing Oona did after giving birth was to go over to drink some water and eat some orange.  She hadn't been eating or drinking for some time.
 
Many of the babies had already gone off into hiding.
 
       I had ordered three giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches from the Carolina Biological Supply Company and they sent me four, which arrived October 7th.  Four weeks later Isabella gave us over 50 more, and six days later Oona gave us almost 50 more!  So I ordered three, but got over a hundred!

ARCHBASILICA OF SAINT JOHN LATERAN

 
       The official name of the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in the Vatican is the Major Papal, Patriarchal and Roman Archbasilica, Metropolitan and Primatial Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Lateran, Mother and Head of All Churches in Rome and in the World.
       So, if you lived in Rome and regularly attended Mass there, and someone asked you where you go to church, you would say, “I go to the Major Papal, Patriarchal and Roman Archbasilica, Metropolitan and Primatial Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Lateran, Mother and Head of All Churches in Rome and in the World.”
