Adam's 11th Birthday

Here are the pictures from Adam's birthday party. He had a lot of fun.

Construction Continued....

It has been a week since we started on this journey. They're making great progress. Today they started painting the kids bedrooms. I haven't taken a picture of thier rooms yet, but I will after they leave.

The picture twords the middle is how Egyptians mix cement. Right there on the floor.

It has certainly been an adventure so far!

The Big Stairs Project

We decided to go ahead and do the stairs. The workmen came on Wed and got started, they moved all the furniture and put up plastic sheeting. Then on Thursday, they brought the jack hammer. It's such a mess. They kept making the hole bigger and bigger. Yesterday they came and hauled away all the concrete. It takes about 10-14 days for the stairs to be made so we have to deal with a hole in the ceiling.

Apparently, buildings here are meant to last for 100 years. Lots of concrete.

The last 2 pics are from upstairs.

First Day of School

These are pictures of the kiddos on the first day of school. They are supposed to wear a uniform, but the school hasn't gotten them in yet.

I think it might be in thier blood

We went to he Children's Museum a few day ago. They have a little play garage and the kids just loved it. It made me think maybe they have oil in thier veins.
