Mother's Day

I took advantage of Mother's day to get the kids all together and dressed for a pic. 

And then I hopped in.  

 I am so blessed to be their Momma,  it sure does keep me busy.  

I get some sweet kisses too.

Luna Park

Today this girl, fell asleep after lunch before I took her in for her nap.  I was cleaning up the table and I looked over an she was out.  She is cutting her first "I" tooth.

Later after Daddy got home, we headed to the park.  For some reason my boys love to find dandelions and get our allergies worked up.  

Someone was happy about the slide. 

Bee catching

Noah's teacher Seyda is great at sending me pics of the school field trips.  

Today they went to the Tema office and caught bees.  

Noah caught 10. 

He looked so proud.

with his class.

 what a face 

My girl was at home with me learning how to water the plants. 

Ordinary day

And ordinary day for us..........looks somethings like this..........

Noah goes to school, and I usually get texted pics about what they are doing.  

Today was gardening.....and my child was not afraid to get dirty.  Of course.

Drew and I do language or errands. 

Luke busy's himself with some activity, today it was looking at the year by year books Momma made for each child.

Nap time.

And hopefully happy wakers. 

A little reading from our boy after he returns from school. 

And do it wall over again the next day.

Pet SHOP

While Noah was at school we took Luke on a special trip, to the pet shop. 

I love his little hands on his face when he found out where were stopped.  

Of course he found a friend as soon as we walked in. 

And we loved petting the ducks. 

We came home with 3 goldfish, they are easy pets to start off with.  And in my opinion, you can flush em if need be. :)

Luke wanted his picture taken with them.  

Lightening, Bubbles, and Freckles

Noah was so excited when he came home. 

Feeding herself

Anna Caroline is getting too big, she wants to feed herself all the time now, and sit at the table with us in the big chair.  

Here's some fast action of applesauce eating. 

Pics from my Sunday afternoon walk. 

Food/Çay truck

a lonely boat

getting some love from my girl

(bucket) bath time has become her favorite.

And her hair is getting so long, I can't wait till I can french braid it. 

Seeing Green

It's confirmation that Spring has come when we walk around our neighborhood and see all the things that our neighbors are growing.  

These are peas ( I would normally call them English Peas but I guess here they are Turkish Peas)

A sweet lady we stopped and talked to about her garden.  She offered to let the boys help. 

The mosque at the top of our hill.

Some rooftop gardening. 

Old architecture.  

A little path with a stream, path, and Çay growing.  

A family building.  

A lady and her cat.

And the beautiful sunset from our balcony.
