Fairly recent pictures:

Only a few... Blogger is feeling stingy...

Could this face be any more pathetic?

Recipe of the week: Dinich wat. Good? Yes.
So hot it makes your insides burn after you eat it? Oh yes.

News on the girls: none.

Family news: my cousin Jodi got some good medical news today that makes us dance and throw hugs around like Daugherty's do.

Date night: last night. Matt and I went to see The Spirit of Uganda
It was beautiful, very well done, and quite an emotional event for Matt and me.
Then we went to dinner with our good friends Mary and Craig. Before we were parents we used to go out with them pretty frequently, but parenting cuts down on the nights out, you know. It was really nice to spend the evening with them over a good dinner.
Grandma was kind enough to babysit for us. She's been such a huge help these past few weeks: helping around the house, babysitting, doing our laundry! She's a real find that Grandma of ours.

Lots of good things to look forward to this week (thank goodness, because another Monday with no news is a little depressing): Monica's birthday dinner is Friday, play group with the local Guatemala adoptive families is Saturday AND my cousin Jodi is coming to spend the weekend with us!

Today I am thankful for: patience.
And wishing I had more: patience.
