We are saying goodbye. It has been an adventure with lots of ups and some downs. We're excited to return home, but sad to leave some things behind. Here are a few of the great (and not so great) things we're saying goodbye to:
* the kindest people ever
* neighbors that love our kids
* neighbors that feed our kids candy, chocolate, and ice cream any opportunity they have
* the almost daily walks to the market to buy something
* an awesome bread slicing machine at the store
* celebrity status (the kids might have culture shock when they realize not every single person wants to talk to them and take their photo!)
* Turkish women reprimanding my mothering
* call to prayer (I like it, but James doesn't really like being woken up at 3:30 am).
* a very simple life (maybe a little too simple?)
* no one to talk to
* 5 flights of stairs lots of times a day
* chaotic driving and CRAZY pedestrians
* church on our own (thank goodness!!)
* propane tank for our cooking
* nasty cheese* friendly strangers giving our kids candy
* neighbors above/below/next to us that sleep in many hours after we've been awake
* crazy adventure

Glad you had such a great time. I've been a slacker at following your adventures, but glad you are all doing well!
