Bebe turns four next month and I just came up with a brilliant idea for her birthday present – but I’ve got to get going on it right away or I’ll never get it done in time.
Through Qoop.com (anyone used them? comments?) i can create a bound picture book – so I thought I would make a book for her dedicated to the things she loves and the number 4. Show a picture of her Dad’s Jeep with the text “Daddy’s JEEP has four wheels” and show a picture of Grandma Candy with four of her glass birds, and Uncle Timmy with four of his guitars, four ponies, four doggies, four flowers etc, etc – maybe six words max on each page…
I’m really kind of excited about doing this. Now I’m off to hunt down pictures…
I got to talk to Dad today – he’s back in the hospital again, but seems to be in good spirits. He joked about seeing if his wife would let him off the hook for going out to dinner tonight – which is when it dawned on me that today is their 36th wedding anniversary. 36 years – I think she’ll let him get away with it this time…
This picture says – ‘what have I gotten myself into?’
We had a great visit this weekend with Mom and Grandma. It’s so good to see the two of them doing so well. On Saturday night we went to dinner at the Caspian Grill for Persian food. Bill’s Judy joined us there as well so we had quite the little party. We had hummus, smoked eggplant and a yogurt dip to start and followed it with koobedeh, lamb kabob, tadeeq, gormeh sabzi, and fesenjoon (my favorite). Mom and Judy really loved all the food. I don’t think Grandma liked the stews as much, but she really enjoyed the koobedeh.
We just got home this morning from our trip to Alaska. Neither one of us really wanted to come back. Before we left, Mr. H was a little nervous about spending a week with the in-laws, but he really had a great time. It’s so nice to spend time around people that really like you. We so often feel like we are entirely on our own here in Seattle. We really don’t have any kind of support network around here. In Alaska, we didn’t even have enough time to see everyone we wanted to see. We’ll definitely have to go back soon. In the meantime, we’ve got to get caught up with all the homework we didn’t do while we were up there.
