Turkish Coffee and Wedding Rings

We have officially started counting down until the date of our court hearing. Twelve more days...

We've spent time with the kid every day and our hearts grow bigger and bigger with love for him. He learned 31, which is an old Cholosky favourite (Jen's mom's side), we play checkers (although the kid clearly needs to learn Canadian rules:)) and have spent a little time teaching english as well.

We go to the outdoor market everyday, and find something new every time. The market is so big that we honestly get lost in all that the market has to offer. Yesterday we found a Turkish coffee pot and grinder, which we snapped up as it won't be there tomorrow, and bought some Turkish coffee. They drink quite a bit of it here and a lot of the market findings are from Turkey. We've spent the last two days trying to master a good cup of Turkish coffee. (It is not easy to do!)

Not only have we been trying to master Turkish coffee, we've been turning our apartment upside down as Jen has lost her wedding band. It's been a tough couple of days of searching, but Jen is confident that it is gone. She hopes that someone will give it a good home:)

It is the kid's birthday tomorrow and we found some fun gifts for him. Jen's favourite is the "new" game 'Twister', but this Twister has a twist. It's called "Super Twister" as you can use your whole body OR.... you can play hand twister!!! Jen is giddy with excitement to play the hand version;) ;)

That is the small update for now, not much new here, although it is scorching hot with temperatures in the 26-30 degree range. Jen is melting. But not complaining too much as we hear back home people have turned the heat on.

Please feel free to email us if you want, we love getting word back from home:)

Dave, Jen and the kid.
