Monday morning is here...and I am still in Amman! Yeah! Last week we found out that the kids have all of this week off for Easter break and I got a great deal on changing my ticket. The story is a little more complicated than that, but the lovely result is that I'll be here all week. My hubby was a little sad that I wasn't coming home, but he's very excited that I get this extra time.
Yesterday was the celebration of Easter in this part of the world - they follow the Orthodox calendar. We had some friends over for an extravagent potluck meal that was a wonderful time! We had an egg hunt for the kids, ate too much food, and finished with lovely desserts. A great day for many reasons!
We don't have much planned for this coming week, so I'll put up some misc. pictures I've taken and that I've gotten from my sister. We hope to do one, maybe two, small excursions, so we'll see how our time goes. I got all my shopping done last week, so this week can just be time together with my sister and with the kids.
I'm very happy! Also, my cold/sinus infection/whatever is finally clearing up! I've been sick since April 3 or 4, so this has been a long haul. I haven't ever been too sick, though, so that's been a blessing. I'll work on miscellaneous pictures today. Missing all of you!
Me!

I am glad you get the extra time there. What a blessing! I hope your week goes well. I'm glad the cold is clearing up.
I have loved the photos. We have been taking the opportunity to learn about that part of the world in our school lessons. The older two want to visit now as well. Have you been to Mt Nebo? The kids thought that would be a neat place to visit, and not too far from where you are?
How strange that the children just found out they would have the week off... I'm glad you are getting some extra time with your family, though. I hope you have a great Easter week with them! What fun! :)
You may never come back, huh? Enjoy your time! :)
