Bora's Birthday!

Remember Bora?  The guy who is so grown up?  Well, duh, he turned 5 last week!  FIVE!!!  OMG!!!!!!  Anyways, we celebrated big time.  First, some sports...  I learned how to play golf!  Check it out!

Next, some goodies...  a really nice cake, made of pirates with a side of pirates!

Some of those pirates were really talented!  They formed a band that played live right in front of us!

See?  Live!

Goksel is Bora's dad.  He knows how to lift me...

We also ran around, played catch me, and other stuff...

Alp pirate was really putting on a show!

When things were over, we headed to Bora's place for a nice Turkish only gathering (Papa counts as a Turk).  We were very hungry, and eagerly awaiting for some food!

I met a new dad, that I liked a lot.  Erdem.  He played a lot with us kids.  

Salta salta salta

This is fun, but still trying to figure it out...

I am getting the hang of it though.

Studying Hard

Monkeys are cooooooolllll!!!

Here are two monkeys playing...

Bora...

He is almost a grown up.  This Sunday he turns five.  He is another one of us Turks in New Hamp...

Doesn't he look grown up?

Eda, my good friend...

Just wanted to introduce a new superfirend that I met here in New Hamp...  EDA!!!!  She is awesome, with these cool curls and a big big smile.  She is really good in Turkish, and none of us is very fond of English, but oh well...

First we went to her place.  She has so many nice toys!  We painted together.

Then she came to our place.  We played, but since my toys had not arrived from Santiago, mostly we ate...

Goodbyes are always hard.  But it is OK, because we can see each other often, because we live close by.  We always hug a lot...

It was a long, bumpy ride, but here we are!

The trip from Santiago to the US was marathonic, and it included a long stay in Turkey.  Let me summarize it as best as I can.  The plane ride to Turkey was long, and tiring.  I honestly could not keep up, had to sleep wherever I could.

When I got to Turkey, everything was fantastic.  I saw all my cousins...  Utku...

Defne...

I chatted with my aunts...

I saw Doruk...

I had naked Yoghurt, or Yoghurt naked...

Candy...

I exercised...

And I even met a special someone dating my uncle!

When we finally got out of Turkey and into the US, I could hardly keep my eyes open, I have been soooooo tired!

 

All in all, I think I will like it here.  It will take some time, but I am trying to enjoy.  To start, I met Eda, my first friend! We were working together!
