On the 26th of Ramadan (Ramadan the name of the month) all of the children get dressed up. The streets fill up in the evening with families out shopping and buying things for their kids. Little girls dress up like princesses and little boys like princes. Its really cute. We paid 10 cents to put Amira in these thrones and take pictures of her. Unfortunately she wasn't as cooperative as I'd have liked, but it was still fun!
On Wednesday we're going to Aziz's sister's house in the other town. I don't have to work because its Eid so we'll be there for about 5 days. I'm so excited to spend a holiday with his family!

Oh she looks just like a princess! We miss you guys. Amalia says Amira Best friend all gone. We shaved Zayne's head and are excited for Eid tomorrow. I'll try to post pics in a timely manner. Have fun with Aziz's family.
Rache, I've been chacking for updates. Amira looks absoulutely adorable and it seems she is having fun.
How are you? Did you get used to the different lifestyle?
I know what is to miss your family and friends, but with time, you get used w/ the new people in your life.

Amira looks so cute!! She is always a happy girl:)
Oh Rachel... these pictures are priceless (so worth the 10 cents you paid) even if she wasn't exactly cooperative.
I can't imagine how hard it is to be in a whole new world, but what you're doing is absolutely wonderful. It's also quite inspiring for scaredy cats like me to live vicariously through you :-) Just think of the unbelieveably awesome homecoming party you'll have when you return to the states!!!
