I was going to take the kids to the playground.
Give a Child a Tree
On a beautiful day, at the back of our apartment.
Blogging Break
Hi all.
For those of you who come and visit regularly and get concerned when I don't update -- I am taking a little break for now.
Far too much going on.
Hugs to everyone :)
At the Playseum
One of the many things I am loving about being in the U.S. is the sheer vastness of things to do with children.
Stones and Ponds
"Stones," my son explained thoughtfully to me,"like rocks, live outside."
Making Smoke
The following is a step by step play of how to "make smoke" Buchela style.
Conversations with Buchela
Buchela: Mama, are we going nowhere or yeswhere?
Mama: (laughing) Yeswhere.
Buchela: Whichwhere?
Ahhh. The beauty of this simple conversation.
I never ever correct my children's speech. I love to follow their progress as they work it out.
The Tuesday Playgroup
This is the playgroup we attend every Tuesday.
We start out with free play.

Part of passing on my heritage to my kids is ensuring not only they learn to speak Amharic but that they also develop attachment for things Ethiopian.
Spray Parks!!!
It has been hot around here.
A 2 Year Old in the House!
To Whom It May Concern:
I have turned 2.
I don't know what my mother's excuse is for not throwing me a giant party like last year.
Maybe it is the jet-lag?
Anyway, she promises one when we get back home in September.
Until then, I'd just have to continue blowing up my own balloons.
My Garden, My Grandmother
As a child, I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's.
One of my fondest memories of my time there involves helping her tend to her vegetable garden.
