Welcome to the World (Part 1)

This blog finds itself mainly for the foreigners who have been with us here and God has taken them elsewhere on their journeys. We have a new baby in our midst! Pictures as promised... Meet Micah Silas. Micah meet the world. I went over to visit the Brownies today and of course to hold the baby. Everybody has been pitching in, so we cooked them dinner one night this week, but I hated to go empty handed today, but my hands were not empty for long. (smile.) I have missed out and will miss out on holding almost 10 of my friends' babies since I've been here and while I'm finishing up my time. Is that not crazy! I can't believe I'm grown up enough to have that many friends having babies! I've hated missing out and am sad to think about missing out on the births to come, but He has given me some baby bundles to love on here, till I go home!
Even Lukie wanted to get in on the action of holding baby brother. He was thinking I've got two older brothers and they both have younger brothers, it's about time I got a chance! And, then there were four! So, that has been the excitement around here this week. As soon as I get over to the Satt's, then I'll post a picture of their new bundle of baby joy. I'm telling you, there is something in the water here! In other non-baby news, friends from Istanbul are coming down tonight to get ready to run in the Tarsus half marathon on Sunday. Me and my roommate are going to do the People's 5K run. It should be fun having some familiar faces around this weekend, showing them around our village and giving them a tour of Tarsus...a must see on anyone's Turkey tour. It should be fun, I promise some pictures after the weekend!
