We've been keeping busy over here, just like many of you out there. Last week was a blur but I know j got his second [first state-side] hair cut by the fabulous John at Urbaca Salon in the pearl district, Appah returned from an overseas business trip, we put together some goodies for J + j's classmates and teachers, watched our sweetest shepherd boy [j] in his school Christmas program, mailed off Christmas presents to our extended family in Chicago + California and spent time with good friends while feasting on Appah's delicious spicy crab. This week I plan to finish up a few small gifts, make another dress from my Japanese sewing book and another UN origami wrap, have dinner with some girlfriends, celebrate Christmas with some dear friends and enjoy some good family time. Hope you have a wonderful week!!
