Resemblance...

This is a picture of my Mom as a baby (about Sasha's age - six months). Doesn't she look like Sasha?

Flor's visit

Flor, one of my best, childhood friends came over to visit. Sasha was all smiles for her! : ) We went out for lunch and then hung out at the house. Sasha took her nap and Flor and I were able to have a long wonderful talk, like we used to.
Thanks for a wonderful visit!

our beautiful girl : )

Hi love,
I've been trying to post new pictures every day for you. Sasha seems to be very happy here. Today, my Mom took her when she woke up and let me sleep a long time! They walked around the property and went down and saw the cows and them came back to the house and for the first time had mango! She really liked it.
Two new things she's been doing are wrinkling her nose when she smiles (it's so cute!) -I haven't gotten a picture of it, but I'll try to soon - and now she's saying "ra ra ra ra" and mixing it with "ar ar ar ar". I'll try to get it on video for you.

I miss you so much!
I can't wait until you get back from Colorado and can call me. : )

I love you.


James, my Mom said that she looks just like you in this picture.

Taking a bath

My Mom and I gave Sasha a bath in the kitchen sink and she loved it!! : )



Earlier that evening Sasha was giving slobbery kisses to my sister, Jaleh!

Sasha loved the cats. She kept grabbing their fur and making these funny faces like the one in these two pictures! I guess I've developed permanent allergies to them. This was the last time I was able to hang out with my kitties.. i started sneezing and my eye begun to swell up!!

Hi love, here are lots more pics! I love you.

Sasha was all smiles for dona Adelia!

James, here is one of the many Plumeria trees growing around the house. My mom says they grow like weeds here! : )





She loves the hammock!

Princess fell asleep in the swing! : )

Pics of us

Hi James,
I uploaded all the pics onto my moms computer, but I can't use her computer right now. So I got on my dad's computer and found all of these pics of us when we first got married! The one with David and Sasha was one that David sent my dad. We were eating at a Thai restaurant, before the whole gang went to see "The Davinci Code". Doesn't Sasha look precious? : )
I love you!!

for James

I haven't seen my sweet husband for several days now, but it feels like months! Both of us have been taking pictures of the things we've been doing while we've been away from each other. We'll be posting them online for each other (and everyone else!) So James, here are some, there are many more but I will post them later. I love you so much!!
I'm looking forward to the pictures you took!

silly joke

When I die, I want to go peacefully,

like my grandfather did

-- in his sleep.

Not screaming,

like the passengers

in his car.

Happy Mothers Day!

"...Mothers are the first educators, the first mentors; and, truly it is the mothers who determine the happiness, the future greatness, the courteous ways and learning and judgment, the understanding and the faith of their little ones."

"O ye loving mothers, know ye that in God's sight, the best of all ways to worship Him is to educate the children and train them in all the perfections of humankind; and no nobler deed than this can be imagined."

From the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Baha

lots more... : )
