First Pics

These are just some of the pictures we have taken so far!

 Landon and Reid are absolutely in love with their little girl cousin! Landon asks at least 4 or 5 times a day to hold her. They are very sweet with her!

 They have a little slide, merry-go-round and swing in their yard.

 Cousins...together at last!

 Yesterday we went to the Amman Citadel. This is basically an area of ancient roman ruins.

 Snack time for the boys....young and younger!

 Matthew and Camille

 We stopped for lunch on our way home! It was yummy! We had mana'eesh, which is kind of like quesadillas with different meats, veggies and cheeses.

 Strawberry Fanta

We are loving our time here and look forward to seeing more and more! Except for a few tummy issues, we are all adjusting much better. They boys had a rough couple of first nights, but last night they both did pretty good!

Whew!

Well, even though we did survive the trip, 13 hours on an airplane with 2 toddlers is NOT a venture I want to take on a regular (or even un-regular) basis. Just a few perks from the trip: some unintentional juice left in one of the boys cups which raised a few eyebrows and required a test to ensure its safety, a 2 hour wait on the plane before leaving for a day long flight...in other words, our boys were already done with this flight before it ever took off, and lastly a couple of McGrew boys who made sure that all 250+ people on the plane knew where they were seated between the hours of 2 and 4 AM. All in all, the boys did pretty well and we are excited to be here! Stay tuned....the fun is only beginning! I'm not sure how much I'll be able to update, but I'll do my best!

Stay Tuned

This year we are spending Christmas in Jordan with my family. We are excited and nervous! Stay tuned to hear more about our very special adventure. And, please pray with us as I leave you with this...

Fone Pics Friday

Most mornings, I feel like I get ready with this hanging on my leg. You can't see, but number 1 is on the other side doing the same thing!

 

Decorating ornaments at Bass Pro Shop. The line for Santa was a little long so we opted not to wait. Besides, Landon isn't too crazy about Santa being close to him anyways.

 

Santa's Village

I can't believe it's already been a year since we took the boys to Santa's Village for the first time! The Thompson family was here and even though it was pretty chilly, we had a blast! This is a great, FREE, kid-friendly Christmas activity at the Richardson Public Library. We used to go all the time growing up and it has certainly grown a lot over the years! NiNi and G-Pa came with us tonight as we headed back for our 2010 visit. While we were hoping it wouldn't be as cold as last year it actually ended up being around the same temp. But that didn't stop us from enjoying our time!
