Five on Friday

Our friends, The Larsons, have started a tradition of posting "Ten on Tuesdays", a list of ten fascinating facts about them that week. I'm not sure we have ten to talk about, but here's a shortened version:

1) My Uncle Carlos is recovering well from a succesful surgery, although he still has many challenges to overcome. Thanks for your kind thougths and prayers.

2) Mali has become quite a girly-girl lately. She loves wearing her cross necklace that her godparents gave her at her baptism and then showing it for others to admire. Below is an after-bath picture of her in her new pink daisy towel.

3) Brinn ROARS loudly when she's excited. Mali likes the fact her little sister can do a decent lion impression.

4) Both of us gave us desserts for Lent, and I guess that means Mali is too, since there will hopefully not be any in the house.

5) We are compltely addicted to politics right now. Even Brinn got to get up out of bed to watch the primary results. (Only because she needed to eat). Thankfully, that was before Ash Wednesday, so we were able to celebrate "Super Fat Tuesday" with White Chocolate Raspberry bars, compliments of my dear friend and superb cookie-baker, Ruth Meyer.
