Samara really always wants to eat whenever we are.  So, we just figure she may as well do it herself--and you can see the results.

 
And with a little help from her big sister India.  You can see how intent and caring India is for her sister.

 
Big steps for India too.  She is fully potty trained during the day.  It took two days!

Yeah for me!

Rachel helped India make this box on her potty training day so she would have something fun to do
while staying in the kitchen near the port-a-loo

I took Asia on a tour of Islamic Cairo on our most recent Saturday morning date.  I take one of the girls
each Saturday out to breakfast or an activity.  Asia chose this option.  This is Asia in the Al Ghuri Mosque.

Asia at the top of the Al Ghuri mosque minaret looking out toward Bab Zuweila.  She really liked the stained glass windows.

We had lunch at the Naguib Mahfouz Cafe in memory of the great Egyptian author who died this month.
We even read from one of his books while we waited for our food to come.

Baba who sent it for her new school year outfit.
