Coffee in Izmir

My friend's childhood friend took us to have coffee and the most delicious strawberry ice drink I've had even in the country!  We had a good visit with her and continue to pray for her salvation.

Another Visit to Swan Park

 We really love this park in Ankara!

The weather was just a beautiful!

 I enjoyed taking these pictures with my new camera that my parents brought to me for an early birthday present.

Washing our Rugs

We had a lot of fun washing our rug with soap and brushes in the hot sun on our balcony.  This is a yearly job that I really enjoy because you get to get wet!

A chicken at breakfast

Ever had chicken for breakfast?  We were holding our new baby chick and she jumped right into the pan and started eating the leftover eggs.  Don't worry, we're not going to cook her!

And this is our newest baby chicken.  She is named after my friend's niece, Neema.

I tried to get Neema and Kailey to be friends but they were not interested and still aren't.

Delicious Food

Here is a traditional food from around here that we like to eat.  You fill up this big metal tray with onions, tomatoes, peppers and chicken pieces and then you take in in your arms down the road to the bread baking place where they cook it in their big wood oven for two dollars.  It's super delicious!

Cheesecake

We have learned how to make a delicious cheesecake!

More Animals

 Our neighbor gave us a new baby chicken!

 I found this little guy in our living room.  I tried to convince my friend that we should let it live in our house because it eats bugs but she didn't want it to so I let it go back outside.

 This is Kailey and Ethan, our new chicken and rooster.
