Well we made it back safely from our trip to turkey where we spent 9 days with some dear friends from our church. They moved over there about 5-6 months ago(can't remember now) with their three children, two girls and a boy. Their oldest girl is Anna's age and was in her sunday school class, thus the reason we took Anna, not to mention she was the last one to go anywhere.(although Micah will remind us he doesn't remember his trip). We had a wonderful time living life with our friends, seeing where they live in Istanbul, the big city, how they get around and how they are learning the language.
