Sick Binzer and Pumpkins

Well, Binzer has been down for the count for about 13 days now with mono. She was just sleepy and had no appetite for the first few days but now her throat is really sore and shes been really nauseous. Hopefully she starts to feel better soon. Shes been getting lots of rest but has missed a lot of stuff, I just can't wait to see our old Binzer back!

Just this past weekend Lindsey was feeling a little better so we took her over to Liz and Christian's place to watch the Saints game. Then we went over to our friend Hailey's house to carve pumpkins. I think it was good for her to actually see some friends for a little bit, but she sure got tuckered out.

Here's the pumpkin I carved. I have not idea what it is.


Me and the pumpkin


Pumpkin carving party...I don't know how long the pumpkins are gonna last when it gets back up to 80 this next week...

A little classic street football action after The Saints destroyed The Giants.


Christian made all of the gravestones with movie characters and quotes.

Back to China!...Kinda

Lindsey got me some cupcakes for my birthday...mmmm! White frosting, chocolate cake, in the fridge...best dessert ever.


We went out for my birthday to this fancy little place called Clancy's in Uptown New Orleans. Lindsey had crab and I had baby cow.


Our lunch from the other day. I was so excited that we found Laotian sticky rice at the local asian market along with our favorite curry (second best food behind refrigerated cupcakes). Lindsey also made Vietnamese soup which was equally awesome.


Just last night we performed a scene from a traditional Chinese story from the Three Kingdoms Period. We started taking a Chinese class only three weeks ago and on the first day we learned that we would be part of a play. We're both glad it's over because Chinese classes and play practices every week were getting to be a little too much Chinese. It was fun though and everyone did really well.

Here is Lindsey's costume...真漂亮！ How pretty!

Here we are. I gave an introduction in Chinese and then bowed a lot. Lindsey was a servant and did awesome with her lines and the poem.

Here's out whole class and our Chinese teacher.
