Father's Day

sunday was father's day. at least it is in america. here in indonesia it wasn't. but we celebrated it anyway. 

 b got up and decided to be funny by putting on my piet onthel shirt. as you can see, it's a little small on him.

 the kids thought it was so funny that his shirt wouldn't stay down in the back. they kept wanting dad to get up and get a spoon so that i could get a picture of his back.

 here's b eating his standard indonesian breakfast: corn flakes with cut up banana.

 at church, we saw that our friend lily wore the new byu t-shirt we gave her. she looked great in it.

 and i look very large next to her.

 we went over to ibu dewi's house that afternoon and had a lovely meal with her. 

 s especially liked the yellow watermelon.

 ibu dewi made tengkleng (a curried goat dish). the curry flavor is good, but we have found that tengkleng is not one our favorite dishes.

a fun picture of daddy and the kiddies.

 here, back at the house so b can open his father's day card and gifts.

 the card that w and s made together.

 wa!

 i see now what's happening in the previous picture and this one. s is happy in the previous one because it's her side of the card. she's frowning in this one because this picture shows william's side of the card.

 s pointing to the picture of herself, b pointing to the picture of him, and w pointing to the pineapple he drew.

 b holding up the batik shirt that w picked out for him.

 b wearing his shirt like a dress.

 what a handsome shirt. w knows exactly what style of shirts his daddy likes.

 s giving to b her gift. (the piece of circular cardboard b's holding is what we used to approximate the size of our gong so we could find a good gong holder--without having to carry around our gong.)

 s's got one hand by side and the other's giving a peace sign (say that with alanis morisette's song going through your head).

 sierra used one of the new terong (eggplant)-shaped bells to play a song she made for b. i thought this was a very creative gift idea. 

 b focusing on s's playing.

 w enjoying s's playing.

 daddy and the big s with the bell.

 a funny shot.

 daddy and his kiddies! it was a good father's day.
