Home at last.


A little glimpse into our life the last while. We moved into our new home on July 18, 2014. We have lived out of suitcases since December 20th 2013. ( we still are living out of our bags, we need to find storage drawers for our clothes yet.) It feels so good to be HOME!  We are so thankful to God for directing us to this place. We have wonderful Landlords who can speak English. And are very friendly and helpful when we have questions. 
We also still have our housekeeper for 2 more weeks. She has helped us a lot in getting things for our house and directing us on where the markets and good places to buy things. 
Also we are very excited our Kids wonderful Nanny is arriving the middle of this month.  


                             My 3 favorite people in the whole wide world... Cooling down with ice-pops.                                        


These  Elephants are in the lobby at the hotel where we attend church the last few Sundays. The Kids absolutely love them. This morning they were not squirting the water like normal. They were a bit concerned they were broken. After church they were working again.




We Received our very first piece of mail when we moved to our new home. On July 18, 2014.
For those of you that have lived or live overseas. You know the joy of receiving mail!










                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
           











One day in July we just took the whole day to spend time with the kids. (They were feeling very neglected with all the moving and changes of life.) We took them to and air conditioned mall where they had a kids play place.They spent 4.5 hours playing and making new friends. B was so tired when we left. He also kept saying he was super hungry. for those of you that know him well, that's a famous saying of his.:) 




JC earned her purple Bible she picked out last March. She had a nail biting problem, But she worked really hard, with her little brothers help. They both received there very first Bible. Every Evening JC asks her Dad to read something from her Bible to her. Her favorite passage right now is Philippians. (she thinks its a funny name.)




JC can't wait till she can read, she loves to look at books and pretend to read to her brother.
They very often play school together, With JC as the teacher and B as the student. Some times the parents get roped into being students too.









 For my Birthday, We walked to Lucky's supermarket to get a few groceries and we had Ice cream at a little ice cream shop in the mall. It was a special treat to enjoy some cold creamy ice cream.
My family also let me sleep in a bit and had donuts for breakfast, (I think the kids enjoyed the treat the most.) They also bought me some beautiful nice smelling flowers. I never did one lick of homework all day! It was a relaxing day.
 


Until Next time....... The Whitman Family.
