Black Sea Family pics

We were so blessed to make a friend that offered to take pictures of our family right before we left the Black Sea Coast.  I told Drew this was probably the only time in our life that we would ever have a "beach home" and well we loved while it lasted. 

This was totally an abandoned couch from someones' salon.

And drawing in the sand.

My fav

Waking up together

When you wake up and the only place to sit in the house is the couch, you all pile on together.  

Every chair is gone, but it didn't stop these two from entertaining themselves.  

We are picnicking these days on the footlockers. 

And playing in the remaining cubes/boxes.

Saying goodbyes to dear friends.

And friends that we will just miss doing life with.

And friends who just get us, and know the good and the not so good, but are our friends anyway.

Here we are after our 1st flight, and waiting to get on the 13 hours haul over the pond.  

This is how to ride, if you have to.  

Last day of Kindergarten

The morning was full of stickers and one last day of school before Noah finished for the year. 

He was so proud that he completed all his lessons.  

And brother got in on the reward.  Ice cream for everyone. Well because we all needed it at this point. 

We met our friend Ayuba for dinner and introduced him to Mulama on our last time at Yayla Evi

We sure will miss him.

Family pics

Our sweet friend helped us say goodbye to Rize by offering to take our pictures in the city we have come to call home for 2 years.  

We won't show you just yet but here are some of the scenes from today. 

Getting some cuddles from my girl.  

And we met some of our sweet friend for Cay. 

Beautiful skies

We were blessed to have an amazing sunset right over our city view.  This was the exact place the sun was setting when we first moved here 2 years ago. 

 kitchen shenanigans.

Found this sweet boy "reading" the bible all by himself one night.  

Then brother and sister joined in.  

The end is coming

most of the toys are packed and Anna borrowed a baby from Katelyn to feed while we were there for church.  

We visited some friends and Anna reverted to her baby days and wanted to swing.  And pretend to fall asleep.

We sure will miss this guy. 

And our packing continues.  With a  little nightly reading. 

And when most of the house is empty, we practice taking pictures.  At least that was Noah's great idea.
