A Change of Pace

So updates are going to have to move to Friday probably. It's the one day a week now that I'm generally free - I have class every other day and am not home till about 7:00pm, and I like to keep Saturday and Sunday open, so Fridays it is. This week has also been a change of pace in that we were very, very busy. By our regular standards anyway. On Saturday we drove up to Manteca to visit Anastasia's family for her grandparents' 60th Wedding Anniversary. I know Buddy, that's a long time! We returned the same night. May God grant many more years...

An Abundance of Armenians...

So I know usually I update earlier in the day, but I completely forgot that today was Wednesday. It's felt like Tuesday all day to me, which is weird because days don't really have 'feelings' but we all know what its like to be a day behind.

This has been a busy week. A busy day really. Today alone has witnessed the building of the garden planter box,...

A Week for Eats

Well, this week has been a week of food. It started with making ketchup which was waaaay too tomato-y (for those not in the know, I loathe tomatoes) but the next day I tried it on something else and it was amazing, so that recipe gets to stay. It's a quickie too because we start with tomato paste. Tonight I get to make gnocchi with our new potato ricer! There are no pictures of Caspian eating because his supply of 'on tap' milk isn't really for public viewing, but here are some pictures of him being adorable. It doesn't take much.  He...

She's Late...

Yep, this blog post is late. Sorry folks. You did know that's what I was talking about, right? I have an excuse! I was feeling under the weather yesterday, either a cold or allergies. I've also been dealing with insomnia for the past week. Hooray for getting to sleep around 4:00am and trying to wake up before noon. That's an improvement though, since I was staying up all night and going zombie-like through the next day as well. We're also trying to stay on top of our housekeeping schedule as we start the latest step in trying to abolish all high-fructose...
