Hawaii 2008
Despite Belen's dislocated elbow and having to call security for two missing boys, we had a good time. And I got a special treat flying in first class with Rajeev on my b-day, while Anil took care of the kids!

In Lieu Of Flowers Please Send Chicken Feed
May 2008-June 2008
We have fond memories of our friend "Korma" who died today during our outing to the zoo. Chase led the eulogy and offered kind words for our dear chicken whom we found on the hill in three pieces. Kieran lightened our hearts with his sense of humor, as usual , with his comment, "May you rest in pieces".

America's Favorite Sport
She must have learned this at school because Anil and I are not baseball fans.
Chickadees
I wish I could say I bought these chicks for the fresh eggs and the positive impact on the environment--but after doing some research, I discovered that they eat weeds. We have a lot of weeds! Plus I thought it would be easier to convince Anil to get chickens rather than a goat, which I found out we can also have in Bellevue. The darker chicks will lay blue and green eggs, while the yellow ones lay brown ones.Our Kitchen Helper
Belen decided one day to unload and load the dishwasher all by herself. Surprisingly most everything came out clean!
The Coop
Anil was opposed to building this, specially as one of his friends told him he might end up sleeping in it... I made sure it's big enough :-)

Sunny Day
We spent the day in the yard and Belen was content walking through the shrubs, throwing dirt and digging holes. We planted flowers around the trees and she enjoyed "tucking them in" to their new bed.

More Toes
This evening I dressed Belen for bedtime. I put socks on her feet so she wouldn't get cold. I explained and she asked me, "My piggies?"
"Yes, your piggies need to stay warm."
She began counting the toes on her right foot and ended at fourteen!
"You don't have fourteen toes, you only have five," I said.

"You don't have fourteen toes, you only have five," I said.
"I have fourteen!"
"I don't think so."
"Let me show you."
She took off her right sock and counted her piggies and correctly counted five.
"See you only have five!", I said.
"Oh....well we need to get some more!"
