spring, spring!

The trees outside my window are blooming and that means spring is here! The weather has been amazing the past few weeks and I am loving it.

the little things

Living here, I've come to appreciate the little things. Small, daily joys that make life a bit better...like finding Cheez-its at the grocery store. That is a treat for sure. Yum!

preparations

Next Monday is Sham el Nessim--which is a celebration of the coming of Spring. It is always the day after Easter. Raw salted fish, green onions and lemons are on the menu. They symbolize something that I can't remember--not my choice of celebratory food, but it's tradition! Happy Spring!

Is best done in pencil I've learned. Speaking and spelling are two different ball games...whew.

ismi khan.

I went to go see a great movie tonight called "My Name is Khan" If you get the chance to see it, I highly recommend it.

happy birthday!

We celebrated a friend's birthday in the park with some homemade cherry pie. We couldn't eat a bite...obviously.

American Idol night! I love that it's subtitled in Arabic.
