Pony & Cheeese!

The other day I was looking at Neva's hair and thinking about whether or not it was long enough for one pony tail. Turns out - heck yes - these curls of hers are so deceiving! Here is the first ever single pony tail - they grow up so fast!




Neva is also more comfortable around the camera and loves to say CHEEEEESE. "Smile" is still out -that that will prompt nothing but blinking and holding her eyes shut. Anyway here are the latest from our little poser who loves saying cheeeeeeeeeese to the camera. 



FYI - the monkey is wearing a diaper because it had a "big poop."

Dinner out on Father's day. Her shirt says - my heart belongs to daddy. It sure does :)

Lib-YA

Neva and I had the pleasure of visiting the Wriggs in Libya last week. It was a quick trip through Istanbull and then we arrived in Benghazi.  We were greeted by lovely weather and a man who told me that Melanie was waiting inside for me. Nice way to start a trip! Fortunately women with babies/toddlers are well taken care of and we were through the processing lines in a hurry. 

TA-DAH. Benghazi, Libya

I had a wonderful time with my dear friends. I appreciated being able to see where they live, seeing what life is like for them, and just generally spending some time with them. Always a treat. Thanks for taking such good care of us! We loved every minute. 

Neva is now a swing addict (there is hope Marla!). The Ws have a perfect setup and Neva would ask every minute of every day to "go swing."

A trip to the souq





A trip to Cyrene. What a place...









Oscar is trying to help neva by holding her hand. Neva wants nothing to do with it...





















Date night. I got to be the third wheel in the M&M date night. For those of you who follow the Ws blog, you have already seen these. 

I got my first taste of yummy Libyan Shawarma. It felt quite fitting to be eating a version of "street meat" with the Wrigs. ;)

Thanks again guys. See you in the summer.
