Going to the Beach
Visiting Washington DC
DC went great! We were able to test out our city skills with all three kids and it went amazing- with one exception at the very beginning where we got cussed out for not running down the escalator for the train- we learned quickly :) Nate rode on my back all day and the girls took turns in the stroller and working on their leg muscles and endurance.
A Week of Sickness
We all got a strain of the flu that seemed to last forever. The flu then caused pink eyes and earaches resulting in one busted eardrum. I think we are all better and have our last follow up appointment for Makayla this Monday. It is good to have our "normal" kids back.
Trying Food from a Balkan Restaurant (the area we are moving to)
We are not going to go hungry for sure!
Princess Parties
One of my favorite parts of training has been the community living. This is so unlike America and I've enjoyed it so much! We live together, eat together, go to class together, play together, worship together. We've loved it!
Nate's 1st big boy haircut
My baby boy has grown up so much in the short time we've been here. He was barely walking when we got here and now he is climbing a jungle gym, walking across bridges and going down way too big of slides! He has already said his first Serbian phrase- "Dobro Dan" which means "Good Day" although he has no clue the meaning.
My Girls
The girls have loved every minute of being here I think! We are going to have to be on alert after this type of living because they will now walk up and talk to anyone and everyone and be their best friend. The university students here have adopted our children and make the girls feel right at home. The girls are also enjoying every minute of their school and I am so grateful to have the help and am amazed by what my kids are learning about countries all over the world!
We hit the road September 18th, this next Thursday, so please keep us in your prayers for safe travels and good goodbyes with our families.
