Afternoon with Friends


Today we got together with Abeer's family for lunch and to hang out for the afternoon. Since moving to Kuwait, she has been so sweet to us, and we enjoy the times we get to spend together. Today we also got to meet Abeer's husband and father, and we really enjoyed talking with and getting to know them. Nathan and Nabyl hit it off well, and her father seemed so kind. I'm sure we will be seeing more of them in the future.

Abeer prepared a delicious lunch for us, she went all out and made a traditional Pakistani dish of mutton and rice, beef stroganoff, pasta, salad, chicken cutlets, pizza toast, and mac-n-cheese and french fries for the kids. It was very flavorful, and I wish I thought to take a picture of the spread before our plates were cleared.

After lunch, we sat around and talked while the kids played. Firas and Caleb ran around, built a house, played guitar, and watched TV. 
Rachel also plays the guitar and she has a beautiful voice, and she and Nathan played us some good music. 
Faris and Ben were so cute playing together. Every time we see Faris he is doing something new. Now he is crawling and leaping. He's an active little boy, and I'm sure these two will be partners in crime.
We had a really nice afternoon with their family, and appreciate the wonderful hospitality. Thanks for a fun day, let's do it again soon!
