Lil piglets

I tried out pig tails on Anna today.  

 I think I like this girl hair stuff.  

 I can't wait till I can french braid.  Anna was busy checking out the flowers.  

 We checked out the bumble bee too.

Flying high

March must be the month for kite flying.  

The kids were ready to get out of apt after a few days of rain.  

Momma and Anna came this time.  

She was wanting to hold the string so bad. 

Even though my Luke and I sat in the car for a time out, he still brought flowers for me while I fed Anna cherrios. 

Finally my girl got to hold her own kite. 

little signs of spring.  

Watching things grow

Anna is so interested in my succulents.  She loves to look at them, poke them, and stick her little fingers in the dirt.  

Sitting in the mooring sun.  

 My one flower is smelling so good.  

 Taking a stroll in the bahce.

And my cutie before bath time.

Kahvalti with Ali

We had a lovely breakfast with our friends Omer and Ceyda.  And even though Ali slept through most of it, I think he had a good time too.  

 Anna was enthralled with a new baby.  

 That night we finally saw a glimpse of our beautiful sunsets coming back.  I love with spring time rolls around, and winter says goodbye. 

 Getting ready for bed, in pi's and headed somewhere.  Anna has become such a little Momma lately and I love how she mimics everything I do.  

Feeding her baby. 

 And a comparison shot of me and Anna just for fun.  

Kite flying sahilde

The boys talked Drew into flying their kites with no wind at all in the forecast.  

But once they got out there, The boys were right, those kites flew high right along the seaside. 

They were so happy to see some sunshine.  

It was a beautiful day. 

Then Luke found a friend.  

Noah was flying and Luke was chasing the shadow.  

Doing some art

I have been going to an art class for several months now and have really enjoyed it. 

It builds my turkish vocab and meeting new people is always a plus, but I get to do something that I love, and I had forgotten that I love it  (since high school). 

I did sketches at first and now I am painting with ink.  

I am working on eyes next.  

A glimpse into my class.
