And this is Teddy...

Yes, that is a Lil' Webkin that was bigger than Teddy.

So here is the latest on the litter of kittens... After finding one down on the traffic circle next to our building, they all got moved upstairs to our balcony.  Well, sadly, the 2 black ones died, leaving the 2 sweet orange ones.  A friend adopted one, leaving us with a male that we call Teddy.

He's the cutest thing and has been a source of fun and normalcy for our children who still deeply miss our old dog, Matilda.






Teddy is the first "orally-fixated" cat I've ever seen.  He loves to suck on someone's finger or his paw. Like a baby with a pacifier, he goes straight to sleep.  He's so funny!

  After weeks of unanswered advertisements for a new family for Teddy, he has slowly made his way into our hearts (and home).  Yea, I know, big surprise.


I found K a few days ago all dressed up and sporting a "wedding ring."  She happily announced that she and Teddy had just been "married."  Guess that makes him family, now!

Sports Camp 2012~ Finally!

I just found a blog post from this summer that I forgot to post!  It was from our sports camp BACK IN JUNE!    

So no worries... Here it is!

This was our second year working as football coach and camp nurse at a sports camp for teenagers here in our Middle Eastern town.   The kids love all the attention from the "big kids" and getting to be our "assistants"!
Helping out with water balloons...



Some cool relay races...



Helping Dad on the football field...







Showing off on the Ripstick...


And with this cool game where opposing teams throw tennis balls at an exercise ball to push it into their opponents' cones...



Putting on "warpaint"...


Trying to win again in dodgeball...


Helping build giant catapults to destroy opponents' styrofoam "cities" with tennis balls...



and just hanging out!

Making Fun Family Memories!

We had an opportunity recently to take a trip to a nearby country.  



Can you guess where we went?


It was a blast!  


We were thankful to be able to spend some quality time with the kids...


and make fun memories!
