Ready for bed

Every now and then I decide that I need a new picture of all four kids together. (This usually happens when I have bought matching outfits, or in this case pyjamams, for them.) It doesn't happen more often because, quite honestly, it is a lot of work trying to get a decent picture of all four at the same time. This is the best we could do today. Sorry James, this time it was your turn to have a funny facial expression :)
The kids had just taken their baths (together - the bathtub was very crowded!) and put on fresh, matching pyjamas - how is a mother to resist that photo op? Now they are all tucked into their beds for the night. Life is pretty sweet!

Fun weekend

This blog has turned into a strictly "report on the goings on with our children" blog, which wasn't my original intention. With 4 kids though, I'm not sure it could be anything else!
Anyway, here is a rare picture of Dan and I. We went to a wedding this past weekend and had a great time. We had never been to a Pakistani wedding before so we really enjoyed learning about their customs and eating their amazing food! I couldn't even begin to tell you what most of the food we ate was but it was delicious! I also loved looking at the traditional clothing worn by most of the wedding guests. It was all golden, embellished and beautiful! One custom that I didn't know about until after the wedding was that the bride is not allowed to smile during the ceremony. We were all wondering why she looked so angry and made so many funny faces - she was trying not to smile! I was relieved to learn this because it looked to me like she was upset about getting married...
