Our week in pictures (Week 1 without Daddy)

Me, my "kazan" and my Central Asian "plov"
(rice pilaf with beef, raisins, carrots and onion)

A tremendous Mother's Day surprise

Ainur (our Kazakh house guest) and the kids brought me

breakfast, flowers, chocolate, gifts, our dog and a balloon in bed!!!


Our going away gifts and cards for Ainur (what a blessing it was to have her with us this week.)

5 years of Mother's Day handprints from our preschoolers

Our first trip to the Indianapolis Zoo in 2 years
This giraffe was one of the highlights of our trip. He stood staring at us for several minutes, then leaned down to brush Erika's hand. Amazing creature.
Not a scene you see every day (at the zoo).
Zack's first-ever roller coaster ride!
