Shelley is so lucky to have the best big brother ever! Jorgen is full of ideas and game and Shelley loves playing with him. At least until she gets hurt! Playing with a big boy does not come without it's price....usually a toy snatched away or an occasional bump! Being here has forced us to be creative since we came with very little to amuse ourselves. Jorgen loves getting all of the pillows and jumping on them or running and flying into them. Shelley follows suit every time (minus the climbing and jumping off of furniture). I love when they play together so well. One of the pictures where Shelley is gazing so happily into her brother's eyes reminds me of a picture of my older brother and me with that same look. Oh how I looked up to him and wanted to be just like him (and still do). I am so glad Jorgen and Shelley have each other.
This face just makes me smile (a little out of focus though). Shells quite often has her little tongue out when she is trying to do something that takes concentrating. It reminds Justin and I of our brothers!
For some reason, Shelley has had a constant runny nose for many weeks, we cannot figure out what it is from. Because of it, she has become quite good at blowing her nose. It is so funny to see her pick up some tissue and put it to her now and make the blowing sound.
And on another random note, we ventured out to a big Target-esque store today and found CHEESE! Normal looking cheese is hard to come by in this part of the world, and when you find it, it looks all mysterious and is very expensive! Today we found a 'pizza topping' bag of shredded cheese and we were in heaven. We also found another novelty, wholewheat tortillas, and made some heavenly quesadillas for dinner! Jorgen and Shelley were so happy! Funny how something simple like a quesadilla is such a novelty here.

they look like they are having a blast together! pillows are always a great toy - have you made caves or tunnels with them yet on the couch yet? Always a crowd pleaser!
simple pleasures are the best!

Dala used to do that blowing nose thing too. Pretty hilarious. Jorgen is so grown up.
So I finally had some time to catch up on your blog and see all of your adventures so far. I am so impressed!!! This is a great time to travel and see the world, your kids might not remember much but you and Justin will have these memories for a life-time! I am excited to live vicariously through your blog. Good luck this summer!

CRazy that you guys are there and living it up! I enjoyed seeing all the pictures and all the stuff you guy shave done. I'm glad you guys found cheese. I don't think Ty would survive without cheese! =) Can't wait to see what else you guys are up to!
