Where we are living

You may wonder what "home" looks like while we are in Hungary. This is the room that our family of three shares. It was just renovated (and the adjoining bathroom found in JJ's tub photos) and so we are really staying in style. Even though there's a TV in it, don't think we're watching any TV...usually JJ is sleeping and we don't hang out in here too much because of it. There is a little kitchenette on the other side of JJ's pac-n-play which is great for the refrigerator and being able to keep JJ's food in. There's also a small wardrobe that I have managed to fit Jared and my clothes in and there is a suitcase on the floor by JJ's pac-n-play with his clothes piled neatly inside. All in all, it's a great set-up!

This is for you, Mum Mum and Pop Pop! We know you are missing your little JJ! He misses you too and wants to say "hi" in this video!

A Day of Playing...

It's been sooo fun to see JJ take an interest in new things in this VERY new place. He is living quite the life getting lots of attention and having lots of fun new things to play with and get in trouble doing:-)

Here he is in the tunnel in the play room Julie set up for her boys and JJ...

He just kept crawling back and forth and we played "Peek-a-Boo" as I poked my head in the other end.

JJ's new favorite Big Play Friend, Eli, pushing him down to the lake. Julie and I walked our kids down there to have some fagyi (ice cream) for Eli, Julie and I as Jared and Julie's husband, Zach, were busy most of the evening.

Eli feeding the swans and ducks at the lake and JJ and Jasper having so much fun just watching them!

Great friends already...so interested in each other...

Hi everybody WAY over the ocean!

JJ definitely needs a bath every night as his feet get black from crawling around the floors here...

Julie brought this tub for JJ and Jasper, but Jasper has been loving to get a bath in the sink! (the good 'ole fashioned way!) I put suds in it and JJ just kept splish-splashing.

Julie told me that it is "so much better" having me here at Speakout. She's spent other Speakouts, by herself, playing with Eli and even though she and I can still get lonely and feel isolated, we are so thankful that we have each other and that our kids have each other!!! What a blessing!!!
