Working Out With Daddy

If you have or have had little ones in your house, you know there are evenings when they just haven't gotten all that energy out. We've tried races in the living room and dancing. Here is Jimmy's attempt at wearing them down. Enjoy!

Our Neighborhood

I realized some people may be interested in where we live. I know I was always curious when I kept up with my friends overseas.  Here are some pictures I've taken of our building and around our neighborhood.

Our apartment is in the back of the building just above the garage.

This is the view off of our "laundry" balcony. The empty lot beside us houses 3 dogs of one of our neighbors. Every time Luke hears them barking he runs to the balcony and wants to be lifted up to see them.  The rest of our apartment faces walls of other buildings, so we cherish this view.

 

 

This is a typical late afternoon/evening for us - heading off down our street to walk the neighborhood or go to one of the playgrounds nearby. A lot of times we end up playing ball with the kids on our street.

I climbed the ladder to our roof one day just to see the view.  The blue-roofed shelters on the right of the picture is a big bus stop, although we haven't attempted the buses yet. There are a lot of auto rickshaws at the end of our road - which is what we mainly use for transportation. There are also quite a few groceries and vegetable stands within walking distance. I'm grateful we are able to walk to everything we need.

Our neighbor to the left (one of the construction families I mentioned in an earlier post), and...

...our neighbor across the street. Such a stark contrast!
