Preparations

This is cheese Pascha in the wooden mould.  

We have healthy lettuce growing between bricks!  That glass block window has a vent where the dryer lets out hot air and lint, as you can see... I think the warmth from the dryer vent helped this lettuce grow.

View of the full moon from our kitchen window in the morning.

Jungle Jim's international market...one of our favorite spots to buy exotic items.  I got salami, smoked gouda, a bottle of rosé for Pascha, Annie's cheddar bunnies for the kids, quality chocolate, a few gifts, like the Swedish sponge cloth with puppy on it.  Didn't get a ukulele, they were $40 and up, but let the boys both hold one and try it.  

Hiked on Monday morning with a few friends.

Beautiful cloud formations early one morning.

Hannah had clothes to pass on to her cousins.  It was fun to see them go through and pick out what they wanted!

Palm Sunday craft with friends after church!

Reading Tintin at home with Dad.

Made a few more amazonite bracelets!

He made a Lego round table and chairs, like Jesus and His disciples (well just 3 of them) at the Last Supper.

Extra church services this week in preparation for the feast and midnight Pascha service this weekend for us!
