our visit so far...

after mom & dad's arrival (a day late), we've had a busy & fun time so far. on their first night we headed to kalbur, our favorite fish restaurant, for dinner with our good friends adam & julianne & baby kathryn and adam's parents, gary & linda, who are visiting from columbus, ohio.

on their first day of freedom (while ben & i were at work), mom and dad toured anitkabir, ataturk's mausoleum here in ankara, followed by a long walk around the surrounding neighborhood. yesterday was the first big event in terms of gearing up for the engagement, when we had the meeting of the parents (this warrants an entire blog post to itself, so i'll save those details for later).

for now i'm posting some photos, before they get ahead of me!

at kalbur on sunday night:
kathryn was in a great mood and adam & julianne let me hold her lots- always a pleasure!
proud papa adam
proud mama julianne
great food
pleasant conversation
good times had by all!
later that night ben and dad toasted to their visit with a taste from the collection
