Favorite places

We got a new rug for our living room and Jacob and Lydia love to play on it and roll around. We also all like going to KFC, the food is good, but also they almost always have a playground there which is great for the kids. Lydia is getting to be such a big girl that she can go up the stairs and go down the slide all by herself!

Jacob's "truck"

This is Jacobs closet which is one of our kids favorite places to play. Jacob likes to pretend that it is his truck or taxi and likes to take us places in it.

We have a Christmas Tree! :)

We were very excited to find a Christmas tree here. We brought some special ornaments along with us and added some from here with some pretty cool lights. Liz even made a cool gold star out of some garland. It's helped us feel pretty festive! We are thankful to our friends who gave us a gift to be able to get it.

Sunny Day at the Park!

We were all so thankful that on Sunday we had our first sunny day in quite some time. We had a great time at a local park. It's a little different than our parks- no big grassy areas- actually not really any grass at all, but it was still very beautiful! While at the park we saw some animals and rode a ride- see the next 2 posts.

A fair?

At most parks here- there is small "fair" area with rides for kids. Jacob had a very good time riding the rooster. The kids were given little nets to try to catch plastic balls out of the water and collect them in their basket. Pretty fun stuff.

A zoo?

Jacob and Daddy had fun going to a small zoo at the park. It was a little more interesting than other zoos we have seen, but Jacob really enjoyed seeing the animals- a special treat.

Funny words: Lame and Elephone

We got jacob a little present for being such a big boy and not having any accidents all week. We are so proud of him! We found this cool little toy/book basket that has some cool English on it. You can see the "lame chick" and on the bottom it says "elephone". pretty funny stuff

Also- the post of our new baby has the pic of Liz and the kids under the photo of the workers. The English text says "Life Becomes Warm, Because of Us". :)
