Somebody took pictures of an event in the Craig household (and her name is Abby), so I present to you a photographic account of Miss Norah's rainbow birthday party

That birthday party looks magical. And I agree, I can't believe how big Calvin is! Beautiful pics. The last and 2nd from last are my favorites.

The party looks like it was splendid!! I love the rainbow balloons, the rainbow cake, the rainbow in the street! Darling ideas, all. I'm sad I wasn't there. I'm sure Miss Jill loved being there-she adores Norah. The photos are great, Abby! I'll be looking at them for days. AG

Amy, Steve's mom was out of town. This is our friend in our ward who has adopted Norah.

Happy Birthday, sweet Norah! I love the rainbow balloons and cute pictures of Norah and your cute sweater, Emily. Who made the cake? Abby?

Hmm, what have I done to convince my family that I have zero domestic abilities ("Oh, Steve! This meal is so wonderful!") so that you automatically assume that someone else made the cake for my daughter's birthday party? Really, now. I'm going to pretend to not be offended.

Emily I'm so impressed, everything looks so great and like such a fun party! I can't even show these pictures to Hallie or she'll kill me for not taking her. Sorry, Saturday was a little crazy but we'll be there Sunday for sure.

I also love that all your kids are in rainbow colors in the first picture and somehow the colors seem to match their personalities.

Happy Birthday Norah!!
What a rainbow of colorful fun birthday! We have been talking about Norah near constantly around here. Sophie was completely distraught and kept asking, "when are we going to drive over for Norah's Birthday party?" Darn this separation stuff! Would you available to play if I came up for a Fall Break visit in a couple weeks?

Becky, of course! When is it so I can block out some time?

Norah told me today about her rainbow birthday party. Looks like everybody had a great time. It all looks spectacular! My mouth is watering for some of the rainbow cake.

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t...

Focus! (Subtitled: Warning -- Indigenous nudity)

I keep thinking about topics or events that I could fashion into some sort of blog post, but the ideas all seem to dissipate before I make it happen. I'm definitely in a bored-of-my-own-blog kind of phase, which is too bad because I have lots of friends and family members who may be a little curious about my grand Adventures in the Beehive. Really, this ought to be a time of reflective verbosity. Here are some possible bloggable topics. Please advise. A. How I got bullied at the school carnival. B. What we did on this lovely Thursday evening, and to which blogging queen of Provo's house we did a drive-by. C. Quantities and descriptions of the foodstuff that my family collectively deposited on the floor at Thai Chili Garden. D. My friends the OvaHimba, as brought back to my frontburner (why not?! everyone has a backburner) by a lovely show on the Travel Channel tonight. D, part 2. What I fear most about living in Provo, and what it has to do with going to Namibia in 1996. E...

Freaking awesomeness

Yesterday for dinner I picked up: pizza. We put the leftovers in the fridge. Who doesn't love cold pizza leftovers for breakfast? So that's what the kids had, bright and early. Today at lunch, I was wanting something effortless, so I cooked up a Safeway self-rising crust frozen pepperoni pizza. "The best pizza we have ever, ever had," the kids shouted. After some snacking in the afternoon on cereal and clementines, which I have, in my kitchen, we met Steve at Costco this evening to return some shoes and to get dinner at the Food Court. I grabbed a table while Steve and the kids put in their order. Chicken caesar salads for the adults, and for the kids: oh, yes, he bought them pizza! So, let's review. Last night for dinner, today for breakfast, lunch and dinner: PIZZA. All with pepperoni. And now you understand the title of this post. Scheduled for tomorrow: tour of a doughnut factory with the kids and the cubs. The awesomeness continues. After Costco, we all went ...
