Safiya and I made a batch and a half of tortillas for enchiladas for a dinner party we had for Craig's work last night. Max wanted to be a helper -- sweet, but not so helpful. Tortillas and enchiladas were yummy.

A Ball
Craig and I went to a ball last Saturday. We had a fun evening, a fun table of friends, and lots of fun dancing. What was not fun were my shoes... lovely but very, very squeezy.
Let it Snow
Thankfully there are only a few remnants in the shady parts of the yard, but we have had a lot of snow (for here) this winter. We are craving spring, and the chance to go outdoors without the time-consuming, mom-challenging, dressing for seriously cold weather that we have been doing this winter.

Need any toilet paper?
Craig was fortunate enough to catch this with his phone while out driving one day. Priceless. Really, it is worth alot. Scratchy toilet paper here costs more than Charmain back home. I would call this an EXCELLENT use of space! So, is he a toilet paper salesman?
A Few of My Favorite Things
The food table plus a few decorations |
One of my recent sewing projects... a pennant banner made of local fabrics |

My Happy 37th
This was the first year in many that Craig wasn't a busy, stressed student. It made for a great birthday.
As per tradition, Craig makes silly hats for birthday breakfast. |
and deluxe pancakes.. Vic asked him to do roses for mine. I think he did quite well. |
My birthday gifts, custom wrapping, and birthday cookies |
The boys picked out a beaded bracelet for me, and Craig gave me this carved gourd. I think it is lovely and very Uzbek. |

January Changes - A new haircut, a new scar, and a new smile
Vic decided to scale an unstable table. Three stitches later all was well. So, he added a new scar in January. |
And, Seth lost a front tooth. (The second is soon to follow.) |
