As I said in my previous post, I have been in a state of worry and fear over our imminent departure to Ethiopia. Then this came in the mail. This is a picture of 'The Sisters' as we have taken to calling them, getting their gift packages from us. Those are their photo albums we sent them of our family and house. Would you look at those smiles? Those are my daughters. I don't know if anything could be better.
In other random news for the day, Ariel ordered his long awaited laptop for his business - and I get a free IPOD Nano in the process.
I also tried an experiment with the boys. I tend to be extremely cranky around dinner time. The kids are usually wild and I get very annoyed in the process of cooking. Tonight, I tried including them in the process - I was making Cauliflower Dum (from Mangoes and Curry Leaves). Isaac helped add all the ingredients to the sauce and Elias pressed garlic and then onions through the garlic. The difference between the two boys is hilarious - Isaac is exactly like me and can't concentrate on anything for six seconds without jumping to the next actvity. Elias, in contrast, merrily spent a half hour pushing garlic and onions through a press with great concentration. I am definitely going to try and cook with the kids more in the future. It is definitely worth the time.
