I held you just yesterday.  You slept tucked in a warm blanket as I listened to your mommy tell your birth story.  She was tired, but joy radiated from her as she looked down at you.  Now you are six months old and the way she looks at you has only increased in love.  You are now giggling like crazy, rolling over onto your belly, and almost sitting!  Your eyelashes… they are longer and every girl is going to be jealous. Your eyes…bigger.  And you have confirmed that I need to workout my arms because you are definitely heavier.

Caitlin - Cass, you are amazing! These pictures are so stunning, you are so great at capturing the babies’ personalities!

I also love your new heading, I’m assuming you drew it? :)

Keep up the good work!

It was the way he looked up at his mommy and daddy and the way they looked back that made time stand still and a tear come to my eye.  He was here and he was in their hands…their first gift from heaven.  I could hear baby Andrew say, ” Guess how much I love you…right up to the moon.”  I could hear them say, ” I love you right up to the moon and back.”

Five tiny fingers wrapped around his mother’s rattle.

A Masala Chai Memory

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, Panera, even the best Cleveland local coffee shops can’t match the chai tea I drank in Nepal.  The beautiful land, spices, and brewing women of Nepal have forever ruined my experience of chai here in the states.

So I tried making homemade chai thinking maybe I could get close.  I went to the market to pick up everything I needed.  Ginger, cloves, anise star, cardamom, cinnamon sticks…

I boiled and steeped the tea adding in honey, brown sugar, and vanilla.

It smelled wonderful as I poured the tea into steaming milk.   I gave it a swirl and put the recipe to the test.

Once again… nothing like Nepali tea.

It was good and definitely will not go to waste, but it is still missing the creaminess, spice, and sweetness that I tasted months ago.

I am going to keep trying, I just hope it doesn’t come to me growing cardamom and sugar cane on our back deck and purchasing a goat. Ha…imagine seeing that on a leash walking around the city of Cleveland.
