A Quick Review of 2013

January

Sam turned 11!! And I spent way too much time on the internet.

February

 February was dull, and I honestly don't remember much of it. Oh and I guess I did a photo a day thing.

 

March

Did anything happen in March? I can't remember...

 

April

I started to find turtles around the village.

May

 We went to Cappadocia, and the horse I was riding almost fell off a cliff. (So now I enjoy telling that story. Can you tell?)

June

We went home! And there was a graduation and we went to Stumpy!! ----> Awesome

 

July

Drama camp and parties and visiting people! Was overtired, like all the time.

August

Spent a week in Edmonton, and had sleep overs. Was a little less over tired

 September

Came back to Turkey, started school. Got a rabbit, but it was killed three days after I got it by a cat. :(

 

October

I turned fifteen! And we went to Ephesus!! Also the computer crashed or something and Mom and I lost all our Ephesus pictures.

 

 November

Went to see Thor the Dark World (the first movie we went to see as a family since Pooh's Heffalump Movie back in 2005)

December

I discovered One Republic, we spent a weekend in Bursa. We also went to see the Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (!!!), and Dad didn't have to work on Christmas (YES), and I got sick (but I'm getting better!).


All in all it was a very interesting year, I can't wait to see that 2014 holds!

Kittens!

We have a bit of a mouse problem at our place so Mom and Dad decided that cats would be the solution.
Yesterday Mom brought home two kittens! Meet Miss Pippin Cotten-Socks and Miss Molly Mittens.

 Pippin

 Molly

They seem to be settling in rather well. Pippin is curious and likes exploring; Molly's favourite pastime is trying to get Pip to wrestle with her. :P

2013 (!!!!!)

Wow! 2013! I’m so excited for this year, another year to have fun, learn stuff, make new friends, and messing up!! Yippy!

(I don’t know why I’m in such a good mood.)  

LET 2013 COMMENCE ROCKING!!

Merry Christmas/ Happy New Year

Merry Christmas people!!
This is me wishing you a fantabulous day!!
(I meant to post this a few days ago...)

And Happy New Year!!

We all got up at 6:30 Christmas morning to open presents before Dad had to leave for work. It was fun! I enjoyed it thoroughly, I got headphones with a mic attached so I’m hoping to do some better quality recording. I’m excited!! :D

It's been a great week so far weather wise, sunshine and +14! We played catch yesterday, turns out Sam has a good arm on him.

I can't believe that it's going to be 2013, where did 2012 go? Oh well, what can you do? But I must say 2012 was a pretty great year :)
