Castle in Egypt!!

Hi everybody! We went to the Citadel which is a castle in Egypt. The Egyptian knights used to live there and they had trap doors, but I couldn't go down any. There's a really big mosque there and Daddy took a picture of me. Look! My favorite part was when Mum and Dad bought me and Jacob some ice cream. Dad said it was as expensive as the antiquities, whatever that means. We saw some tanks from the war between Israel and Egypt, and I thought it would be cool to ride one, but Daddy said I couldn't. Instead we saw the military museum, which was really really long and I couldn't feel my legs by the time I came out. See you next blog!

Monster baby eats some cereal

Hi everyone! So guess what happened this week? Zachary ate mushy food for the first time - it was really funny to see. He spit a lot of it out. I got to give him his very first spoon and then Jacob gave him the next one. It was so funny to see him with food all over his mouth. I went back to school a few days ago and Mommy and Daddy are really happy, but I just want to play my Wii!

The Neverending Christmas

Hello everybody! For Christmas I got lots of stuff. Jake got a Nintendo DS and I got a Wii. Well, we both got a Wii, but I really really like it! I can play bowling and tennis and boxing and I beat Mum and Dad all the time!! Christmas is really fun here because it starts with the Eid - that's a holiday for Muslim people, and we got off school just as it started and Mum and Dad got off work for 3 days! Then there's Christmas and New Year's, then there's Coptic Christmas, which is today! Coptic Christmas is for Eastern people who celebrate Christmas, but they still get presents and I even got presents today! I really like having two Christmases! It's nice here because everyone says Merry Christmas to you even if they don't celebrate Christmas and I'm learning to say things in Arabic like "marhaba" which means "hi" and "shokron" which means "thank-you".
