We had a blast in Egypt! We started in Cairo with the Pyramids and ended with Luxor...

Jack is stamping his own passport!

We had a nice sailboat ride on the Nile River.

Maddie and Bryan got in a lot of chess!

Wee a horsie carriage ride!

We enjoyed all the sights with the pyramids, the girls and I were able to climb inside the great pyramid and see mummies in the museum. Then we had a fun time at our resort with a zoo and water park. All in all we went on 6 planes, a sailboat, a carriage ride, a camel and a horse...

Dinosaurs at the Mall

We went to a mall today that is having a dinosaur display. They have dinosaurs on every floor, so its good for getting your excercise...Jack ran to each one and was thrilled when he spotted one! We are working on dinosaurs with Ella and this helped being able to see them this big! It a fun field trip...we had a lot of fun. Hope your doing well! Love, Jessie

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone! A special shout out to Grandma and Poppy for the boxes of chocolate, as you can see Jack is really enjoying it! Jessie

Girl Scout Cookies

The girls sold Girl Scout cookies on Saturday. Ella is a Daisy and Maddie a Brownie. They had the most fun taking a break and eating the cookies, but we had fun!

Valentines Party

We had a nice get together with friends this morning. We had a homeschool/playgroup Valentine Party with about 20 kids. They all made valentines and passed them out and played and ate. We are so thankful to have such nice families here in Turkey. Maddie is passing out her cards, Ella is getting ready and has lost a bow in all her fun and Jack is eating a lollypop without even opeing the valentine, yummy! Take care and keep in touch! Jessie

SNOW SNOW SNOW

We were thrilled when it snowed on Christmas Eve to make the White Christmas we had been hoping for! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas!

Love, Jessie and family

Breakfast with Santa

Jacks Smile Ella and her pal Meg

We had a blast this morning having a pancake breakfast and doing crafts and then getting to meet Santa! Jack was so funny in line he couldnt wait and he would walk up to santa before it was his turn. I wasnt able to get the shot but he walked up with his arms out for santa to hold him, so cute! We had trouble at the 2 year mark for both the girls...they both cried at 2 when they saw Santa, so we were relieved when Jack had fun! Ella told Santa to get Jack a truck and she wanted Kit the American Girl, so cute. Sadly, Maddie wasnt interested this year, so hard when they start to grow up! Merry Christmas Love Jessie and family
