Thank You Blog Expat

I have seen this button before from traveling to other blogs, blog surfing to read the latest on blogs similar to my own. I was curious enough to click and glance and read and admire but it never crossed my mind to join. Maybe I thought they wouldn't like my blog.

Well I saw it again and this time I took a chance and filled out the online registration. I was surprised at how quickly I was approved. I must admit, being a part of a community of expatriate bloggers is a wonderful forum to be apart of. I love that it is international and bloggers are single and some married with children, like myself. Plus it will keep me on the edge, reading and reminiscing of my travels through the eyes of other travelers. Did I mention this will be a motivational site to keep me working towards my future goals for helping humanity?

The latest featured blog is Us! Check out OTTE on Blog Expats. Feel free to vote for us as well. Thanks.

Missing Summer

I miss summer already. It's time to get back to work and I am just not ready. We were able to finally launch "The Ethiopian Foundation" which also made this a great summer. It started with our trip back home to New York. We visited family and our old neighborhood. The kids missed each other so much.

We ate well and visited places of meaning for us. We even caught a movie with my nephew. On our way back to the bus terminal. I gave the boys my camera and these are the pictures they took.

My Youngest

My Oldest

Me

and thirteen pictures of this same sky.

My father in law treated us to Kings Dominion in Virginia. We had a blast and a delicious picnic. These are my boys with my husband, skipping eagerly to the entrance.

The boys had fun on the bumper cars.

Driving around,

Talking daddy into taking a 13 story drop,

All of us riding the crazy roller coaster, especially the Grizzly which took you through the woods.

They tried to win a bear for their one year old cousin, which they won.

We enjoyed our pool for the rest of the summer,

Which closed on Labor Day. See you next year, Summer. Now back to work.

Until we meet again......
