Parties!

This weekend we had two parties. One was a party with Americans. It was a Welcome Home/Baby Shower! We had such a good time. We are so blessed to have so much support here. Here's a few pictures from that party: 

Here are all of the cars parked outside our friends' house. 

Here's the doorway into the house. 

Here's the sign that was on the door. 

Here we are opening some presents! This big present is his pack 'n play. We have already used it a couple times. We plan to have "playpen time" every day! 

(I think that's Layla's hand reaching out for my shoulder. She must have wanted to be part of the action!) 

I had another party with a couple American ladies and a lot of Arab ladies. It was a blast!! I couldn't take any pictures because that's not appropriate. They came late, but we had so many people. Our little apartment was bursting at the seams. We ate Arab food on the floor! Then we danced to loud music! We had such a good time. And, of course, they loved Joseph!!
