Out and about again

We've made an effort to get out and explore even though it has still been raining almost every day still. So much for spring--it's now hot! And muggy.

Last Saturday we took an outing with some friends, Ty and Reed Turley who are here for a couple months while Ty works on his PhD research. Ty and I were missionaries in russia together over ten years ago. So crazy that we should be here in Tbilisi at the same time!

We wandered through some of the old town. Some traditional balconies:


A sleepy produce seller


We saw where the patriarch of georgia lives. Couldn't stop Liam from posing on the fountain in the garden...hope it wasn't a holy spring...


For sale in a souvenir shop--cheburashka! (lovable big eared creature from soviet cartoons.) Might have to go back and buy one!


A church


And a wedding



Liam on the lap of Georgian hospitality


Up to the Narikala fortress again


The fortress, the river, the city



Jude has an adorable new smile


And back home, some creativity on the front doorstep. Army men, Lego mini figures, and mcnuggets were some of the key players.



Not much else happened this week...homeschool, laundry, meals, the usual. We're hoping to get out a lot more once we have a car.
