An Empty House

Our guests and their triplets moved out on Saturday.  While it's nice to be able to sleep in once again, we both miss playing with the boys!  At least they don't live too far, so we can visit often :).

The boys trying to steal candy from our candy tray.

For some reason when you say "Labhan" (smile) this is what happens...

Trying on Khala's (Auntie's) sandals.

Here comes the cleaning crew!

We found a frog!

Chasing the frog

Are we brave enough to touch it?

One of the boys did actually catch the frog, but luckily, he escaped.

Mohammad and I had the awesome opportunity to see the Cyrus Cylinder.  From MFAH - Valued throughout the world, the Cyrus Cylinder is such a symbol of tolerance and respect for different peoples and different faiths that a copy is on display at the United Nations in New York. The Cyrus Cylinder was inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform—the earliest form of writing—on the orders of the Persian King Cyrus the Great. It is often referred to as the first bill of human rights because it appears to encourage freedom of worship and to allow deported people to return to their homelands. It was first found in Babylon (now Iraq) in 1879 during a British Museum excavation, and it has been on display at the British Museum ever since.

Persians love Persia

In other news, one of my very favorite cousins recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who I am loving from afar.  I can't wait to meet him!  Mohammad and I send lots of love and kisses your way little man!

Such a cutie!
