Back to Normal???

What a whirlwind the last couple of weeks have been. My last post talked all about my dad coming and our travels around Turkey. Unfortunately, my grandmother (mother's mother) became very ill so my dad canceled his trip to Turkey and my mother left two weeks early. My mother arrived back in the States and had a week with my grandmother before she passed away.

After my mom left we had just a few days alone before our next guests came. Eli had a sleepover with his very best bud (also an American with a very strong Old Testament name). 

 And we just had our typical chaotic family time.

 Here are the boys making pizza.

 

Noah also started Turkish school. He goes to the same school that Eli attends, 3 mornings a week. It has gone beautifully. No tears. No fits. And I get 3 GLORIOUS mornings to myself. I will be teaching Zumba classes at the Hungarian Embassy in the near future during my free time.

Then we had some dear friends come from St. Louis. They came for work...

 And play...
