Pretend Play

We made a scene of Ama and Apa going to the pond to watch ducks!

Laugh at me Midwestern relatives!

But… I have discovered the crockpot.   Yes, it’s true.   Awesome so far.   A tasty risotto, a tomato chicken mascarpone soup, and a third soup with fish dumplings since I got it.  See, it takes me awhile, but I am coming around.   I am learning!

Sandwich anyone?

From our trip in August.   Ada rolled around with cousins all week. And fun with grandparents.

Questions in June and July

Recent questions:

– Where was I before I was born?
– How did Mommy and Daddy make me?
– Is GOD a person?
– Is Iman going to die?
– Are you and Daddy going to die?

Big stuff in that little girl heart.

And recently her quote:

“GOD is the tug in your heart”.

Who’s teaching who? – a humble & touched mom

New story character

Ada told me a story with a dog named ‘Runny-O’.  She explained that his name was Runny-O, because he liked to run and he likes Cheerios.  Funny girl!

Good question

“How come lawn mowers are outside and vacuum cleaners are inside?”  – Good question, Ada.

A Quote

“Meditation is hearing your brain on the inside”  – says my 3 yo. daughter, pointing out my meditation cushions, while we were reading a book in the backroom.  Too simple & too profound.  I’m constantly in awe.

Father’s Day

Ada’s sticker card for Daddy,  and some windy kite flying on father’s day.   Hamid made a picnic lunch of kefta kabobs he grilled during Ada’s nap.   Fun.
