Arrival

Sulaimani International - you can faintly see the mountains in the background.

This 10 minute bus ride from the airport home was the very last leg of our journey and Sterling was increasingly restless!! Chris, one of Tim's new colleagues was kind enough to offer his hat as a diversion!!
Clearly Sterling was happily diverted : )

Meeting our new neighbors (directly across the street from us) - a Canadian/Columbian family with 4 lovely children!!
Our new street
Milaina (sp?)has been so sweet with Sterling!

Sterling, watching the world from our front gate...

The whole family is big into soccer and Sterling loves the balls!!!

Hey guys! Mom told me you had made it, so I wanted to check your blog for pictures. Wow! What a contrast to what you came from. I will definitely be praying for you as you adjust with two little kids to such a different environment/culture. I hope you will make new friends quickly and feel at home.

Love, Staci
