After the wedding, Mazen woke up wide awake when we returned around midnight and then we had a bit of a rough night of on-and-off wakeups, so Matt and I were both zombies in the morning.

We had a quick breakfast at a café in Safeway before saying goodbye to our friends and hitting the road back to Cville

Mazen has a tendency to give his parents presents for him for holidays. This time he gave himself a fedora so he could be like his dad : )

Karen came over and we made a great brunch to celebrate – eggs Florentine scrambled with spinach and goat cheese plus cheddar and sweet potato biscuits (from Whole Foods) and maple bacon

M enjoyed avocado until he got some on his hat and it had to be taken away!

We all enjoyed a loooooonog afternoon nap followed by a long walk around town.

And then a delicious dinner of roasted chicken, sautéed garden greens and roasted potatoes in ketchup.

M lights up in smiles whenever Matt walks in the room. And he says “Da Da Da Da Da” all day long. The best dad any little boy could ask for!

This might be one of my favorite recipes I’ve ever made! I can’t take all the credit – one of my friends shared the technique on our mom’s group Facebook page. I knew upon her description that I had to take my own stab at it! The best part about this “casserole” layered with beans, [...]
