Halloween

For the grandparents

Grace

This is Grace.

Both these babies are half-Asian.

Grace favors her sisters, doesn't she?

We thought Grace would get darker, but so far she continues to get blonder and her eyes are greenish-gray. You never know.

Pool baby

Grace's first time at the pool. The jury's out on if she enjoyed it or not--no crying, but no smiling either.

Ovoo and Emee

Ovoo and Emee means Grandpa and Grandma in Mongolian. Tamir's parents are here visiting for a few months. They were able to see Mary march in her school's Parade of Nations representing Mongolia.

They also made the most famous Mongolian traditional food, buuz (potstickers), with the kids. It was fun to watch them.

Blessing Day

Grace was blessed March 13, 2011. Unfortunately Sarah and all the kids were sick, so Tamir and Sarah's family went to church without the day's honoree. We ended up having our bishop/home teacher and the other member of the bishopric join us at home for her blessing. We're grateful that Sarah's family drove down for the event.

Tsaagan Sar (White Month)

In celebration of the Mongolian lunar new year, we ate Mongolian food and dressed the kids up in their traditional Mongolian clothes.
