I miss shooting Sophie. Finally got a chance to take some shots again this morning when Allan and Carrie came to participate in our Bouncing Blessings class in NMEC. She was actually approached by the other babies and was an attention grabber even when drinking milk as shown here.

Provision for the afterlife was important to the Ancient Egyptians, especially eternal nourishment from food and beer. In Middle Kingdom Egypt (c. 2,000-1700 BCE) simple dug graves were often the final resting place for the less well-off. On these graves, relatives appear to have placed what are called “Soul Houses”.
Soul Houses were placed on the surfaces of the graves with the intention that they would provide accommodation and sustenance in the afterlife. These fired clay models could take many forms from basic offerings-trays, to replica houses (complete with ancient Egyptian domestic architectural features) to cult chapels. Many models included courtyards with scupted clay foods, such as oxen heads, beer jars, joints of meat and loaves of bread. Water tanks and funnels for flowing water were other desirable elements.
