We've been hanging out recently with the Twaddells and Malakootis and it has been so much fun to see friends from home.
It's also been a nice, reassuring reminder that home still exists and my family hasn't just floated into cyberspace to chat with me on our blogs on occasion.
Tomorrow we're going to host a brunch with them all and Quddus Nasseri, who also serves here, and with whom, it turns out, I drew on my parents' walls with BIC pens when we were itty-bitty. I don't know, but I think my Maman might just have a wee grudge still about that :-)
Mark, by the way, swears he never did that as a child. Anyone know otherwise? :-)
