8th Day

Lucy Anastasia Markevich after the eighth day prayers. She already has her pious church expression down and is practicing crossing her arms to receive Communion. I think we have a little nun on our hands. 

Then again, maybe not...

 Meet Lucy, born April 20th at 2:26 AM.  6 pounds 13 ounces, 19 inches long.  I am smitten.

kulich!

getting ready...

In preparation for making kulich and cheese pascha, my friend Joanna and I went on an expedition to Mountain View Dairy to find really beautiful milk.

 We're planning to make our own farmer's cheese this year!

Can you see the inches of cream at the top?

finally!

I finally managed to get my driver's license today!  This mama can now get herself to the hospital if necessary.
