Mother's Day

Thanks for making me a mom, Kieran!

Dandelion

Kiki had fun blowing dandelions in the gardens of Ziarat.

Ziarat

Melissa, Kieran, Daniel and I were all able to go hiking in the mountains a few weeks ago in Ziarat. It was amazing! Kieran especially liked seeing the lizzard, goats and turtles.

Kiki's Aunties and Uncles

It's a South Asian custom to call all people older than yourself, "Auntie" and "Uncle." These are a few of Kiki's Aunties and Uncles here in our city.

Burka

Kieran enjoyed being a princess in Melissa's new chadders.

Bicycle

We bought Kieran a bike while in Quetta, but she insisted on riding while it was still in the car. You might notice a tear in her eye while she's riding the bike in the car. I fought and fought with her about not being able to sit on it while the car was moving, but I caved in and let her because the taxi driver kept lecturing me.

Airport

Kieran and Melissa anxiously awaiting the arrival of the airplane.

Corn

You can take the girl out of Iowa....

Whiner

Don't let this blog fool you. This is the face that we see most often.

Double Undies

......because one pair of undies just won't do.

Horses

Kieran loves the horses and horse barn that were sent for her birthday. Thanks Dunnettes! She thinks that the horse barn is a large car, and she drives her horses around the house. Thanks also for the clothes and other toys. She loves them all.
