Artist Anna Lena
Her latest obsession is drawing. Her color of choice: blue marker, but pictured above is a sample of her diversity in use of color. Her palate choice: used printer paper, carefully selected while Bill is working or on a skype call, or the early wee Saturday mornings. Her latest inspiration: babies in mommy's belly pictured in blue.

Dairy
We visited a dairy with our church group. It is a small dairy that produces yogurt and milk products for the whole country. It also had a dried up lake to walk and bike around. This country is odd like that, beauty interspersed with less then beautiful.
Big girl bike rider
Our crazy European pedaless bike has now successfully trained our third how to ride a bike without ever using training wheels. She just made her brother's marks of riding a bike at three years old by 6 days. We never told her that of course. No pressure, but lots of pride.
Talk, banter back and forth
Anna Lena "my tummy really hurts, I need to eat some pop cycles then it won't hurt. But it really hurts a little bit"
Jonas "how much is a billion minutes?"
"How much is a trillion seconds? More then a year."
"How much....( you get the idea)
Zaky "invention is my middle name"
Me "I thought quick was your middle name yesterday"
Zaky "yea, yesterday it was but today it's invention"
Zaky "daddy said he got to watch the Smurfs when he was a kid before school"
Me "that's because we didn't have all the thousand different cartoons you get to choose from"
Zaky "so you got to watch it too!"
Me "we only had three channels with cartoons, we watched what was on"
Zaky "what?"
Me " ya when I was a kid there was no such thing as internet, or iPads "
Zaky ( blank stare ) "did you have computers?"
Me " we didn't get a computer in our house until I got a bit older"
Zaky "but no internet?" (Blank Stare)
