Yom Il-Imm

-
 Mother's Day was celebrated here on Saturday.  It is a big holiday for people.

On Friday a teammate had the kids over for a craft time and so Hap and I went out for a Mother's Day date.  I'm a cheap date and we enjoyed some delicious food for $10!  It was so yummy and probably the last time eating falafel for a while.
I'm so thankful for this guy!  He gave me a leather bag for Mother's Day!

The babies joined us.  Abigail woke up and talked to me but little brother slept the entire time.

The boys crafted me a vase and tissue paper flowers.  They were so proud!
On Saturday, Jacob had a program at his school.  He sang a couple songs with motions, it was cute.





I have some video I'll try to get up soon.  Abigail and Abram "enjoyed" the blaring music... you could only see their mouth crying but couldn't hear them ha!


I had to take a picture of this grandmother.  This puts a whole new meaning on "helicopter (grand) parent."  It is so crazy how everyone crowds around to see and video tape.  This lady too right next to her grandson so she wouldn't miss a thing!
Andrew baked cookies at school, decorated the container, and made me a precious card.
Sam recited me a poem and I'll try to get that video up soon as well!

It was a great day!!

Busy Couple Days

We have had a busy couple days trying to get everything together for our trip. My mother came over the end of last week and it has been so helpful. I have been able to do errands and gather our needed supplies for the trip. I haven't taken many pictures but we have had a fun time and the boys have enjoyed their time as well. Friday we did the majority of our packing and tonight we are going to finish up. Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at a playground in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom and Sam went to see Toy Story 3 (his first big screen movie) while Hap, Andrew and myself went to a birthday party. Sam got these glasses pictured below at Wendy's yesterday and we might try and see if security stops him in the airport:) This evening we had our last team meeting and it was a wonderful time of praying and sharing about what God has been teaching us as we prepare for this trip. We know that it seems odd to some that we would take our children literally half way around t...

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
