Happy Friday! I’m lagging behind on the blog – my apologies. So, here’s a quick catch-up from the last month, starting with Sofia’s birthday (January 8). I can’t believe that she’s four now! Here are some photos of the girls from the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Practically, it also marks the end of the Christmas season here. So… Party! Speaking of parties, here are some pictures from New Year’s Eve – both our… [Read more…]

Happy Friday… and Merry Christmas! Here are a few photos that show what our Christmas preparations look like here in Athens. We may not have the cold or the snow, but Christmas is just as festive in Greece (and loaded with unique traditions – but I’ll save that for another post). Enjoy!

Happy Friday! A wedding and the marathon last weekend… whew, I’m hoping that this weekend will be more restful. Our teammate Susie and friend Youssef were marred on Saturday.

School children… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! Last week’s installment of Friday Photos was all Emma, so this week is Sofia’s turn to shine.

Here are some… [Read more…]
