Springtime ... FINALLY!!!

Having grown up without four distinct seasons in California, March 20th (spring equinox?) would come and go without much fanfare in my life. But after a hard winter of power outages and frozen water pipes, I (alongside the rest of the citizens of this country) have been counting the days until spring. Finally ... Spring is here! This country just celebrated Novruz, an important holiday in this country!

A popular Novruz tradition is to jump
over fires every Tuesday this month.


Our future neighbor,Yana, is such a generous soul. She wasn't using her doghouse anymore so she gave it to us!

We love it (other than the fact that
"Bony's House" is scribbled on the front)...

... which quickly disappeared when David stained the doghouse.


Chingu's loving outdoor time with the girls...

...as are the girls! And the fact that they can finally ride their bikes outside. And check out the cherry blossoms! Perfect weather as we prepare to move to the new house in just a couple of weeks!
