We celebrated Nathan’s 2
year old birthday on August 25th. We kind of had a progressive Birthday
party for him. We had a birthday
party at our house the Saturday before his birthday & then we
celebrated his actual birthday in the Capital at a little play place. Poor guy had malaria on his birthday, but
it didn’t seem to damper his fun. It
was a great Birthday week !!

Abby always wants her
picture made when Nathan gets his done
|

|
I’m not sure who had more
fun at the playplace . . . Daddy or Nathan

Nathan’s Birthday Party was
a lot of fun. We invited a few of
our National friends over and had cake, ice cream, popcorn and played some
games. Nathan loves busses, so I
made him a bus cake for his birthday.
It’s modeled after the local busses in our area. The writing says, “Nathan’s 2nd
Birthday”

Nathan enjoyed his cake and
ice cream

Nathan liked the “drop the
clothespin in the bottle game.”
|
|
|

|

|

|
|
He also enjoyed playing pin the tail on
the donkey

Abby is officially a big girl now. We enrolled her in the Homeschool program
at one of the schools in the Capital.
When we go to the capital she can attend class at the school. Last week, she went to her first
class. Our little 4 year is a big
preschooler now!!
|

|
|
|
|
It was really chilly in the
Capital, so we enjoyed a warm fire each night.
Abby liked helping Daddy
saw the fire wood.

Here’s my 18 week picture
with the twins. I’m 20 weeks this
week & we hope to get an ultrasound on Friday. Hopefully we can find out if we’re
expecting boys/girls or one of each at our next ultrasound.

We brought back some
McDonald’s cheeseburgers from Dubai and we’ve had them in our freezer since
we got back. We enjoyed a WONDERFUL
McDonald’s night at our house the other night with McDonald’s Cheeseburger’s,
homemaid French fries and Dr. Pepper.

Isn’t this a YUMMY looking
plate??

Last night I gave the kids
an early bath & this is how I found them a few minutes after bath
time. I guess they needed a little
after bath time TV.

Nathan was a bit fussy last
night and it seemed like the only thing he wanted was to lay in Abby’s
bed. We let the kids fall asleep together and
then we moved Nathan to his bed. I
thought they were cute sleeping next to each other.

It has been raining and LOT
here and the plants in our yard are really thriving. Our coffee tree is actually starting to
produce some coffee beans. We might even
get a pot of coffee out of our harvest this year.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Our banana tree has lots of
bananas !
|

Abby loves playing with
Alley Cat

We were getting a bit of
cabin fever sunny day we took a trip to the local Crater Lake.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
They have little huts set
up around the edge of the crater, so we had fun playing in those.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
We all really enjoyed
running and playing around the crater lake

Nathan decided to call it
quits when he fell down and got a big goose egg on his head. Poor guy!

Mice chewed a hole in our
living room ceiling so Andy spent 3 days replacing the wood, plastering
& painting. It was a mess, but it
was well worth it to not have critters inside our house.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Nathan wanted to be like
Daddy
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This is how Nathan and I entertained
ourselves one day while Andy and Abby were gone.

With all the rain we’ve had to come up
with lots of indoor things to do.
We’ve had craft time, movie time, indoor play time, etc.
