I don't think I had this pic in the computer until recently. It is Felicity's birthday party. Bob and Emily and the VanDeveldes were there. The picture is our kids with Conner and Morgan VanDevelde. 

Every other week, Jenny and I and the kids on occassion take an art walk by the river or on Rustaveli Street. Here are some pics that Simon took. 

Family hike to an old castle wall. 

Our car; Mitsubishi Montero. It's called the Pajero here and in most of Europe and also in Japan. It's called Montero in the new world and in the Iberian Peninsula because it means wanker in Spanish.
 

Made some crepes... 

Church altar at Saint Peter and Paul. Pope John Paul II visited this church. 

In the fall. Civilization in Tbilisi. It looks like I won't be as skinny as I was when I came home from Kazakhstan. 

Gerry is a friend form church. He also leads the Tia Chi group I joined. He and his wife recently had a baby! Congrates. He will restart classes when he starts to get a full night's sleep. We wish you well, Gerry. 

A party trick. 

Giorgi's dad next to Kaha. He is working on the new school building. Georgians keep it in the family. Giorgi's family have been very kind. They put out an amazing feat everytime Kaha and I have come out. 

Another friend from school. He works security as well.  

Kaha after a few toasts. First we toast for peace, the nation, family, friends, parents, brothers, those who have past. The list is long and the wine bottles keep refilling. 

A little party trick. Georgi watches the cup on my elbow. Just in case I screw it up. I drank half before the glass started to slip off my elbow. 

During the super (pronounce with a slavic "r"), Georgi and I have a special toast. Georgia was our Tamada. He parents put out a great spread. We put down 8 liters of wine at the least. 

Kaha. A good friend from school. He is the head of security for QSI Tbilisi. 

All you need is four brinks. I wonder why we bother with the expensive grills. 

George, his friend and dad are putting salt on the pork before they barbaque it. 

Kaha is putting together the still. It's for a drink called cha cha. It's the Georgian slivovic. 

A view of Turtle lake a bit above Tbilisi. I took the scouts hiking up there last weekend. It had a great vista. 

Our friends with Jenny after the Swan Lake preformance; Nino, Bob and Emily, (Jen) and Sophia.  

Fall baseball season is over, but Simon had a great time playing. They play on the only baseball diamond in all of Georgia. It's brand new. The Georgian president and the U.S. ambassador christened it last year. 

Simon has starting serving at our church inTbilisi. 

A scene from Swan Lake at the Tbilisi Opera House. It was a great production. We were really impressed with it. 

Felicity at basketball practice. Thet go every Saturday morning to a gym near the school. They practice in the school yard twice a week as well. The season starts soon.
