When life gives you lemons..

First and foremost, Happy Mother's Day to our Mommies! We miss you!

The past week has been a very crazy one in the Connors household. The moment the stress of Finals week had passed, life opened up a can of worms. Our bank account was hacked into, one of our car windows was smashed in and our Dan's Grandpa's cow-horns were stolen from the backseat (no one can make fun of me for carrying duct tape in my purse now, see -- it came in handy!) and poor Loki developed a swollen paw.

So what do you do when life throws so many lemons at you?

Make baklava, of course!

And then, you use the baklava to bribe friends to visit (with their foster kittens..)

This was Dan's first time being around itty-bitty kittens. And while skeptical at first, he quickly became a big softy. Especially because the little black kitten was working him over -- big time.

Surprisingly, Loki *loves* kittens. He talks to them, smells them, and desperately tries to get close to them. But then flees like a little chicken when they start making a move towards him. He spent most of the evening working up the courage to touch one with his paw.

Almost a month away until we visit Minnesota ! Can't wait to see you soon!
