Just curious: a) what is Owen doing with the pomegranate (i'm thinking deseeding, but...?), and b) what were you making with the pomegranate?
:)
Christina,
a) Owen is deseeding the pomegranate, so that he can... b) eat the seeds.
Owen *LOVES* pomegranates! We put him in one of Braydon's old t-shirts, though, to dig into it because he gets the juice EVERYWHERE and it STAINS big time! In addition to just plain eating the seeds, I like to put pomegranate seeds on salads (try this one: fresh baby spinach w/ goat cheese, thinly sliced red onion, a can of mandarin oranges, toasted pine nuts or toasted pecans, tossed with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar & olive oil... and lots of pomegranate seeds... YUM!).

Thanks Heather! That recipe will definitely be going up on our whiteboard menu next week.
1. i love that you let him eat the pomegranate despite the trouble.
2. do you get tired of hearing how handsome the boys are? they're just beautiful! and of course, meera's absolutely adorable.
3. i find the relationships between between meera and the boys fascinating. it's so interesting how each of them are different with her. also, do they still consider her to be brown like they are? i love that! i wonder how often that happens in mixed race families? i'm new to blogging, so i don't know if it's ok to mention another blog, but have you heard of http://meetdawit.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/birthday-boy/? they're a mixed-race adoptive family who have a very interesting sibling relationship as well. you might enjoy it.
4. thanks again for all your smartness and sharing. you're different than what i run into in the blogging world. : )
5. we're in the processing of adopting. you've been a ton of help and inspiration.

Oh Mary, thanks for your sweet comment. Yes, the boys still consider Meera to be "brown like them." Bizarre and fascinating all at the same time. Anyway, thanks for the link to the Dawit blog-- I looked at it a bit and like it a lot! Thanks! And, no, I never get tired of hearing how handsome my boys are!!! :)
