Philippines

Since we have been living in Asia for a year now, we had to leave "our" country to renew our visa. What better place to go then where you have lots of friends and there are lots of malls :-)? The choice was easy for us after we found cheap tickets, we were going to the Philippines! We have already been here for a week now and we are loving it!

 On the way to the airport (don't worry Mama, it was already on the property of the airport and only "Schrittgeschwindigkeit") our driver and friend Pak Wiwid let Alia "drive" for a little bit. She was thrilled!

So excited to spend our first few days with our favorite "third set of (grand)parents" - Ragnar and Liz

We went to an aquarium together where Erlend and Ragnar had their feet eaten by little fish

 Alia enjoyed all the extra attention

 nothing says bonding time more than sweating together on public transportation 


on Sunday we went to the biggest church I have ever been at and thanks to awesome Grandma Liz, who took care of Alia, I got to sit through a whole service in over a year. Thoroughly enjoyed the good teaching!

It has also been a really good time for us as a family to have some quality time together after a few rough weeks at home

Now we are just waiting for our visa to come through and then we are headed back to "our" country. Please pray that the visa will come through in time for us to make our flight home.
