Samba at the Bird Park

Here we were walking between the feedings of different birds: pelicans, ostrich, flamingo....and we heard the sound of Samba. Then the stilt walkers appeared and the dancers! Yeah!

By no means were these folks anywhere near our loves in the Lions or the March Fourth Marching Band...but the sound warmed our hearts and made us miss our friends. Nevi loved it!

Jurong Bird Park

We had a lovely weekend in Singapore this weekend. We stayed with our friends, Rob and Heidi. They are another Xerox family living here...well they live in Singapore. Their daughter, Parrish is three weeks younger than Nevi. On Saturday we went to the Bird Park! Parrish and Genevieve

Best Papa in the World

Nevi wanted her toes painted before heading into Singapore this weekend. I was not available, so good old Devin- the best father in the world...delivered! Relaxing during her pedicure...

a father's work is never done...

Vegetable Masala

Ok I know this looks a bit like smoosh...but it was good. My own variation on Indian Chicken Masala. Instead I used potato, cabbage, carrot, and onion. Served over rice with cucumber slices!

WE MISS OUR FRIENDS!

Pork Balls

Our friend, Serena, who is Chinese and lives here brought me a package of pork balls from a Chinese shop she goes to each week. I was not sure how to cook them or what to do. So I stir fried cabbage, onion and carrots and then threw them in!

So... the cabbage, onion and carrots were delicious. Ahhhhhm, the pork balls were not our favorite. They taste more like fish balls...a bit rubbery but that could have been how I cooked them! They are often used in soup...so perhaps I need to do that next time~ if there is a next time:)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Amelia~ We love you and miss you.
