Happy Easter! As they greet each other in Romania around Easter: “Isus A Inviat!” (Jesus resurrected), and the person addressed responds “Adevarat, a Inviat!” (True, He resurrected!). May we remember Christ’s ultimate gift: “beauty for ashes.” I think maybe I share this video every year, but in my opinion, there’s never too much of watching…
I tried this salad from Lillie Eats and Tells last week and it was mouthwateringly good (I love all her recipes). We paired it with chicken from Lillie’s Greek marinated chicken skewers mixed in and boy howdy, THAT is a good meal. (Of course, Lucy turned her nose up at that idea, but the rest…
Ok I’m still trying to come up for breath over here after all those Christmas things mooshed together in the midst of all our family togetherness. Oh boy. I’m so glad for this little part of the Internet where I can come and make some semblance of all the strands of memories I want to…

The most important thing that happened in March was that Max arrived in Taiwan right in the very tail end of the month: (Lots more about that back HERE….his excitement was electric to get over there. ) He sent us a package before he left the MTC. You can tell my these girls’ faces just how…
