We enjoyed a few hours at the Grand Bazaar today wheelen and dealen for a few hand painted plates. More then buying things at the Bazaar we enjoy that atmosphere of just being there. We also enjoy serving as the walk through entertainment for all the shop owners there. They love to count our kids and make funny comments like, "I make large discount for large families" or "One, Two, Three, Four are all of the kids yours?" The Turkish people are generally very loving and seem to really enjoy kids.

As we walked today through the bazaar people would just walk up or as they pass by reach over and pinch a cheek of the kids or rub them on the head. It's really funny to watch and the kids do very well with it and always keep a smile. Luke seems to get the most attention but in typical Luke fashion he eats it up and makes goofy cute 4 year old faces at all of them.

Sunset at the Jetsons house

Sunset at our house is often a time of worship! We can't help but to be amazed by the power and creative ability of our Lord and Savior. He created all of these wonders and more but still He cares for something as weak, simple and selfish as me. What else can I do but serve Him and how much could I give but all there is!
