Preston was starting to smile at almost 5 weeks. He is 6 weeks old and smiles more and more every day. He really likes to smile in the morning right after he is fed.

Preston's first Christmas

Grandma Lemen gave Preston a cuddly bear

It was such a nice day outside that we had a picinic and let Preston feel the sun on his face. He is a strong boy. He is able to hold up his head in his chair.

Eric is teaching Preston early about the man being in charge of the remote control.

I made this shirt for Preston and Eric designed the car on it.



Preston loves to take his napes in the recliner.

Preston loves to sleep with Mommy

There is a market in Adana that we always go to that sales tons of fresh fruits and vegetables. They also have clothing, and lots of odds and ends.

Eric's best friend came out to visit. He fit right in with the Turks. When we went to pick him up at the airport, we thought we spotted him at lest five times. Even the Turkish people were coming up to him speaking in Turkish. This picture was taken at the Hilton Hotel. We had our ward conference there.

This bridge is 3,ooo years old and is still used today.



We walked around more of the park once it got cooler and we found all kinds of interesting statues. We had to get this one kissing my belly.

In the middle of dirty Adana there is this beautiful masque and walking grounds. Everything is perfectly trimmed and green. There are also play sets through out the grounds for kids.




Some of the colors are so bright. I could not believe that such a bright plant could be in Turkey.

These are a few pictures of Old Adana. It is crazy. The first time I came here I had a cultural shock. Cars are honking and zipping down the narrow streets. People are running to cross the street before a bus or car will run right into them.
