Pictures!

The internet connection this morning is GREAT so I jumped on and uploaded a few photos. Nothing too exciting, just a few glimpses into life. Things are going great and we're really getting settled. Yesterday we took a family trip to McDonalds and a major store to get a few things to finish the settling in process. It was a beautiful day and a nice trip.

 William found his favorite toy as soon as we got here. An old walker with a steering wheel. What could make a boy happier?!

 As usual our favorite past time is to climb along the wall and drive cars while watching people, sheep and big vans drive by.

 We were able to go have "hot chocolate pastries" with the boys last weekend. The key to eating these pastries is to start in the middle and eat out all the chocolate, leaving the fluffy pastry part for your little baby brother :-)

 You also have to be sure to have hot milk while eating pastries. Trust me its the only way.

 An amazing thing happened last weekend. I made the most incredible macaroni and cheese - with Moroccan slimy cheese! Seriously this was a cheese sauce that Eggs Benedict dreams about. So good. My life in Morocco is now perfect.

William got new shoes and as a result has not stopped walking since. They are pretty stinkin' awesome don't you think?!

The boys also got a new bedroom. We moved them all into one room with bunk-beds. They are SO excite to have their own place. They keep telling everyone about it. I am happy to have at least one room in our house all swept and clean. Its really inspiring for the rest of the house :-)

There you go a few pictures to give a glimpse into life. Have a great week!

Home Again, Home Again. Fly Away Home.

A week ago yesterday we arrived at our house in Morocco. Its hard to believe its been a week and at the same time its hard to believe it hasn't been longer! We had a great trip, that took a total of 4 days. The boys loved getting to travel by plane, train & taxi. They are all such good travelers, we've been really blessed.

Since we've been here we've had the chance to connect with friends, enjoy incredible Moroccan foods and eat our fair share of the most amazing oranges ever. Honestly they are so good, its hard to keep my mouth from watering just thinking about them. Yum!

Today we're headed up to a party to celebrate the birth of a new little baby to our dear friends. They've killed a sheep and there will be more coke & cookies than should be in one place. It is really going to be great. I am looking forward to seeing friends and enjoying watching all the ladies interact.

I tried to upload photos, but our connection seems to be a bit slow this morning. Thought I'd get this off just the same so you that sometimes stop by might know how we're doing...more to come!
