Well, we married Clementine off this evening at the courthouse. It was a pretty sweet little ceremony, although I am not sure it was really significant to either of them. They both think of the Saturday event as the “real wedding”.
I got my Somali dress from Clementine’s friend Betula today. I just mentioned while at Mohammed’s relatives’ house that I needed a good African dress, and Betula was pretty pleased at that and found one for me. It is pretty loud, but not ugly, full of red and black leaves (I think those are leaves…). I’m totally going to rock this thing. I am glad she remembered!
It is going to be a bit busy around here, and life is going to be full of cooking, cleaning, henna-ing hands, bouquet making, and (I hope) cookie cookin’. I am really craving cookies.
Anyway, I won’t be able to write much, so I leave you with this:
A picture of piggies. I totally love this photo. Kirstin’s comment about being behind the ass of a steer made me think of the fair again. Here it is cold and snowy and all I can think of is the Lane County Fair and how hot it was every summer.
So, piggies. Rest well all of you.

Oh my gosh. That reminds me when I went to the State Fair when Emma was about a week old. I was, as with all my kids for the first month, having a rough time nursing. I saw a momma pig (being a city dweller I have no idea what you call a mother pig… a sow?) nursing almost her whole littler. I was soooo glad that I had just one kid to nurse, and two nipples…. no more. I felt so sorry for that momma pig.
