Aloha!

This week I felt like partying so we hosted a luau. Helen was very excited.

It is my birthday today, but we celebrated yesterday because Ryan is in the hospital today. Which meant one less day of the wrapped presents haunting me.Here are my presents. Helen's favorite were my new socks. I am really excited about the webcam. That means that grandparents and cousins all over the world can see Helen when we are talking on Skype. The book you see is fabulous. I have already learned all about lentils and lupines. The next chapter is on fava beans. If you have any questions about the previously mentioned legumes, you just let me know. I didn't realize that I was such a pulse fanatic until I paused and counted the types of lentils in my house. There are four: black, yellow, red and green. I am not sure if they come in any more colors.
