Our Time In Egypt


 This is us on our way at the airport in France ... almost there!

 My baby, with a monkey in his back... Something that really worked to my advantage was not letting him run around in the airport but stay in the stroller.. somehow this kept him calmer. Things where much better on our way back, by then he already knew how it goes.
 We are at Gedou and Téta's!!!
 Tired!
 Who's online?

 Do you see the family resemblance in all the generations?
 Gedou is wearing a Galabaiya.. teaching the Canadians :)



 Eman and Mohamed are getting married!




 Everyone looks great!
 Hatem's cousin Dina will have a little boy soon Yaay!

 Eman looking beautiful!


 Mosque



 At the sporting club, where Khaled loved to roam around .. sooo much that he got a big bobo on his toe. Not that he was complaining (but I wish a little so I would know).




 Making a little friend.





 Eating grapes.
 Feeding Gedou.



 Playing with Yousuf, Howida ( a close neighbors son) Khaled would hold his hand at the wedding party.. soo sooo cute.




 Tired haha

 On the sidewalks.. people did really nice drawings. Celebrating January 25 :)



 We are ready to PARTY! Howida's mom Huda bought him this suit.
 And the Married couple! ... Tante Eman and our new Uncle Mohamed.



 These were kids outside the building for the wedding party... they were so ready for being in pictures..I love the energy of kids in egypt.. Beautiful. I had to tell them they weren't allowed inside haha.

 Some more of those kids. .. Who are they :P


 You both sure did dance a lot that night! .. Not that you had a choice.
 Awww..
 Signing the guest book.

Gedou and Khaled looking good.. I can't believe I don't have a picture of you Téta, you looked soooo pretty in your outfit. I think I wanted to just relax and be there.. we should look at the DVD from the wedding party. In part that is why I didn't bother taking pictures I knew other people would.
 So funny.. He isn't evil .. he's a neighbor called Khaled, Howida's brother. We had a nice time that night trying to find a little bit more quiet places haha. This picture always makse me laugh :)

 Another Khaled! Hatem's cousins son. After a very nice meal at Aunt Samira's (I really should have a picture of you all, I'll be back, promise haha)
 Oh ... we are back on planes... Khaled was sooo sooo good on our way back. Even the last 2 and a half hours in the car to get home... he slept .. and then wen we got home at 2:30am it was straight to bed. We slept till morning.

 Home.. but this was taken before we left.
 That is at an airport.. in Montreal.

 Sleeping on plane.

 So finally, I am sorry we don't have pictures of so many people I am thinking of right now. Eman maybe I can ask you to send me a picture of people so I can put it on here sometimes. All the neighbors I met, Eman & Malak and Huda and Howida and Hussein (Khaled we have a good picture of you of course). We went to meet Shady's parents (shady lives in Ottawa Canada). Even the juice store downstairs. My heart jst wasn't into taking so many pictures, Hatem's friends we met.. I should of. That's why we will go back hahah. We went to the apartment I stayed the summer we got married. There was a really nice baby toddler clothing store that opened right in front. It was a little out of place, because it was the only nice store around. So we went in and it was a really nice older woman (who sayed she spent 3 months in canada visiting her niece). I bought Khaled a shirt that I like so much, it will fit next year I'm guessing. We walked there from Tahrir square. It is 2 minutes away. I was very touched to be there. Still amazed at you Egyptians. I went to a store I knew the way better than Hatem (just because everything is a memory honey, not because I know better haha )
I want to thank everyone, with all my heart, for making it such a nice time for us and being so kind. We love you .. and yes we will be back haha :)
