A New Generation

Haylisa is 16 days old now.  It only took Laum 8 days to name his daughter.  He liked the American name Haylee, and put a Cambodian spin on it by adding 'sa.'  She is a big healthy baby with lots of hair.  She looks like Laum.  I told him that's unfortunate, but luckily, she has some of her mom's genes too. 

Kim is pregnant, and her husband, who works in Thailand, is coming back to stay with her until the baby is born.  Today, she was telling me stories about how they met and fell in love.  She said that her husband gets very jealous and doesn't want her to wear make-up or go around town by herself.  After they got engaged, he burned all of her sexy clothes.
