October 10, 2014

This past Thursday we threw a huge "Welcome Zadok" party for many of our Afghan friends and neighbors...at least it felt like a huge party for us. It was actually rather a small affair by Afghan standards. Following are a couple photos of the preparations. There are no photos of the actual party because once things got going neither of us had the time.

 



Fun was had by all except unfortunately, Zadok. After a few minutes he had all that he could take of large, loud ladies in bright clothes and alarming makeup, and started a meltdown that lasted the rest of the evening, further complicating an already frantic event...

But here he is the day after, with a little Nawruz outfit to grow into, courtesy of one of Amos's coworkers at the airport, who has been praying for a son for Amos since before we married.

  1. Wow!! I wish I could be there. It looks so fun and so other! Do most babies get such a welcome? Silas says he looks so much bigger.
    Love,

  3. I like the outfit...I guess he can wear it for special occasions since it's so white!
