Making Baba (and my aunties) proud!!

Cindy and I have been talking about making perogies for months now, so Monday is the day, I decided being Ukrainian and all I should look like I know what I'm doing before I attempt them with her so I managed to rope Jeff into making a small batch with me today...

Making the potatos...

Kneading the dough...

Jeff's first attempt, it looks a bit full...it's alot harder then it looks!

Cutting out the circles...Do you think we have enough potatos?

Our final product...stay tuned to hear the verdict on tonight's dinner!

They definitely aren't Baba's or any of the aunties but for a first timer, I think I have what it takes, must be in the blood! We cousins will survive after all!

Living Creatures...

Since we've been back from Christmas holidays we have come across a few HUGE creatures in our house. 1 being the spider, the other being the grasshopper on steroids. Check them out...
This guy was on our kitchen coutner, we are still doing the math and have no idea how he got in.




I feel comfortable saying, camping will never bother me again!

Settling In

Our first offical picture together in Indonesia, Cindy and Todd have been in Indonesia for 10 years so we had a party at their house, quite a feat. We have been keeping busy with tennis, golf, work for jeff and hanging out with the girls around The Hill for me. Its nice to be back and getting more settled in. I'll be taking the long flight back home in April for a month or so to accomplish more wedding stuff and will hopefully be able to catch up with everyone I didn't get a chance to see last time!
