Evil spirits

Found something interesting out today - apparently the old ladies' obsession with us covering our children from head to toe with clothes has nothing to do with the weather. Rather, it has to do with evil spirits. Seems if you cover the children and/or keep them indoors for the first year of their life then the evil spirits won't get them. Hmmm. They say it's because of the weather so that we won't think they're crazy. But they also think it's very honorable that we're adopting the children, and they're very happy about it. We've only had one person reprimand us for keeping Isabella's legs uncovered, thankfully. It was just too hot that day.
