The Lion King

Rana loves The Lion King. Here's a video of her watching one of her favorite scenes. Notice her anticipation of the many lines, sounds, and motions she has memorized.

Eid Mubarak - عيد مبارك

كل عام وأنتم بخير

We had a feast of roasted chicken and lamb tagine

to celebrate Thanksgiving and Eid on Friday.

Good food with good friends.

What fun to celebrate two holidays at once!

After dinner (and apple pie, of course!), we

walked into town to enjoy Marburg's Night of Lights

and met up with Stephane.

It was a very festive night!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Upcoming Appointments

Since our schedules are busier than ever,

Rana decided to help us keep track of her upcoming

doctor's appointments by adding them to the calendar.

She will be seeing a new neurologist and

an occupational therapist next week.

Real Shoes!

Winter arrived early in Marburg this year,

so it was time for Rana to upgrade to real shoes.

She loves them!

Thanks to Nana and Grandpa, her feet will be

cozy and warm all winter long in a pair of
Hush Puppies from good ol' Grand Rapids! ;)

Crayons!

Rana has been showing more interest in

pens and paper whenever we write anything,

so we pulled out her crayons this afternoon.

She had fun trying out every color in the cute

apron that Great Grandmar and Pop-pop gave her.
