My American Girl doll got her passport!!!! :o)

 Hector, Journey, Hector. :o)

 A wedding parade went down the street in front of our friends house.  So we went out with the rest of the comunity to watch.

Journey was right in the center of the crowd.

This is Nabila's hair cutting ceromoney, by now she's compleatly shaved bald.  Baby hair is considered durty and must be shaved off before the first bithday.  We'll go along with earrings but I'm not going to shave Journey's hair off.

This is eating "bergibung"  Three people will shair the tray of rice and all the bowls of surounding food, eating with their hands.  What's left over will be taken home as a "blessing."

Journey was in the middle of this celebration too.  She seems to love going out and being passed from person to pearson.

 I was going to put these up latter but I really like them and want family and friends to be able to see them.  Journey's a month and a half old here.

 Advice:  all in one short visit...
"You can't hang underwear up on a cloths line above that hangs above people's head."
"Why is your baby only in a diaper?  She needs a shirt so she wont get sick."
"Your bed is to tall.  You'll have to lower it." (After a few days I figured this one out, she thinks Journey sleeps with us at night.  I'm sure she'd have had more advice if she knew that Journey sleeps in her own room in her crib.
"You can't use an electric fan with a baby.  My nephew is coughs and can't get fat because of it."
"You should put a matres (in the dinning room) for her to nap in."
"She's hot."  (After telling me not to use a fan, she fan's her with paper.)
"She'll have a little brother next because she has one fat wrinkle in her legs."

 Journey got to spend the afternoon with a babysitter and to thank her Journey dressed up and gave her candy corn. :o)
