International days...

Hospitality Day
Hospitality day at our house was so much fun! Three girls from China, and one from Turkey. We got to show them how to use an avocado, and shared probably too many pictures with them (wedding and trips). What a great evening! And Caleb made some fabulous portobello mushrooms on the grill with havarti cheese - yummy! And thst's saying something because I'm not that crazy about mushrooms!



Birthday Party for Ryan

University is done with classes for the summer, and our town has literally shrunk in population. It's kind of nice to have some room to breath when so many students are gone! Not that students aren't wonderful :) It hasn't been THAT long ago that I was a student at OSU as well!


We recently went to a birthday party for Lily and Mooyed's son Ryan who turned 1. It was a fun party with great Persian food! Silas and Hudson kept sneaking outside though, and I found them in the bushes playing several times.









Hands Abroad
The last day of Hands Abroad was in April, and we had a party with all the students. They brought delicious food and we all had a great time eating, talking, and sharing about our classes with the other classes. Here are two ladies from Libya that were in our class. Below are two more sweet Libyan students standing by the nursery.

Moriah's 1 year birthday party in Sulphur. Silas insisted on putting the party hat on himself...he he he...he really is a cutie! The Sanders family is in the background with their olded Garron.

Omniplex garden
The sun peaking through the leaves..quite relaxing I must say. Just sitting quietly on the bench soaking in the beauty of God's creation all around me. I don't get many chances to just be still and enjoy God's creation...outside of looking at my beautiful boys every day! (and my hubby :))

Omniplex water play! Seriously, Silas could have stayed here all day. But he would eventually ended up IN the water.

Hudson and me at the Omniplex - beautiful garden area outside! We don't have many pics of us together, so Papa Mel took this one for me.
