Last night I made a Jordanian dinner at my dad’s house. It turned out really good, and was a great excuse to get some of my siblings together for dinner with my dad. We usually see him individually, but I could tell that he enjoyed us being together.
He has been sleeping more and more - he most often sleeps more than he is awake. And he’s been having increased pain in his hip from the cancer that has eaten through his bone. I thought it’d be nice to jus
t show some pictures of my family. They’d probably kill me for loading such unflattering pictures.. but oh well… =)

“Lone-leeeeeee….”
Bridgette is aDORable! What a sweetheart. I can relate, I was always a camera hound when I was younger :-) Looks like a fun dinner, what did you make? Jordanian, I know, but what dishes? You’ll have to share recipes ;-) I’m a fan of Middle Eastern food in general, so learning how to make it would fabulous! Can you ship falafel from Oregon?
