We found a couple stray dogs out on the streets and decided to take them in. They are a little fiesty but lovable. We've decided to keep them.
I just can't help myself. These boys are dang cute!!!!

"Hey, I'm gonna eat all of this sooooo, if you want some, tough luck bucko!!"
Hey who turned the color wheel up a notch on Keats.... Myles- olive skin, brown eyes, brown hair. Keats- auburn red, blue eyes, fair as fair can be. Yet, do you see the resemblance? At least in this picture you kind of can.
These pictures put a whole new meaning to breaking bread together. Our boys have yet to see a loaf of cut bread! They love the tajik flat bread....
Here is one of our favorite spots to come by a river and let the kids get all crazy with the mud.
Here is another lovely family picture at our gettaway in Dushanbe.

Jenny Hosting our Neighbors
Jenny hosting the neighbors!
Quick story. We have ants everywhere in our house...no big deal, right? They can't harm anyone, so Myles enjoys chasing them around and picking them up from time to time, plus it keeps him occupied during those "I need some quiet" moments. Well, one morning as I was up early with Myles, he came into the kitchen holding this HUGE beetle saying, "Look at this ant Daddy!" "Throw it down, I blurted." But he kept holding it despite my words happy as a camper. Finally, I ran over and shook it out of his hand, which I think scared him (way to go, Dad), and started to cry. Had to get a picture for Jenny of the "ant" that Myles caught for when she woke up. Pretty gnarly critter isn't it!

Operation Update (Myles)
Myles language is exploding right now, especially after spending almost 5 months with his cousins in the States. Lightening McQueen from the movie Cars has captured his heart, and almost on a daily basis he is asking, “can we watch it again?” It was a must to bring back as much “cars stuff” as possible, which means he is wearing PJ’s with McQueen, sleeping with a McQueen blanket, drinking from McQueen cups, and of course wearing McQueen underwear! Which brings us to more great news that he is potty trained (and all the parents said AMEN). He is doing great being back so far and is excited to share with everyone that he is Myles Ready and also Suhrob (his Tajik name). Daddy is especially thankful that Myles’ favorite song is from the Rudy soundtrack, and they are often seen together dancing to their hearts delight. Drawing fish, dragons, and (of course) McQueen keep him entertained as well, along with the important job of being a big brother to baby Keaton.
Keats Kingdom
Baby Keaton is not such a “baby.” He is approaching 5 months, but is already mostly wearing 9 or 12 month clothes. Suffice it to say that he’s a big one. In fact, baths take extra long as we are required to peel back roll after roll of skin. He is still giving mom a run for her money at night, but she is determined to win the battle. So far he is showing signs of being quite extroverted as he always wants to be with people. He has a great smile and obviously is always curious about what big bro is up to. We keep telling Myles that he better be nice to Keaton because it won’t be long before Keats is twice his size.
