We Four in Egypt. Now back in the US! Originally uploaded by Jason L. Parks. I started this blog almost three years ago, when the Four Family was newly four, and as we were setting out to live for two years in Cairo, Egypt. It was an amazing two years. As I’ve been telling friends here in the US, moving to Egypt was the best thing we ever did–seconded only by moving back this past fall. If you’d like to get in touch with me, email me at egypt [dot] four [at] gmail [dot] com. Posted by Ms. Four. It’...

Repatriation, part I « We Four in Egypt
https://egypt4.wordpress.com/2009/10/08/repatriation-part-i
We Four in Egypt. Now back in the US! Repatriation, part I. We made it to Dream Town. The trip was relatively incident-free, but we were all pretty miserable by the end. We’re now crashed out in a comfy airport hotel, watching TV at 3am because we’re still on Cairo time (and by “we,” I mean my children; Mr. Four and I easily could have slept through the night). In a few hours we’re meeting a landlord at a potential rental. It’s a newish duplex/townhouse with a small yard in a racially int...A Honda or To...

Leaving Cairo « We Four in Egypt
https://egypt4.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/leaving-cairo
We Four in Egypt. Now back in the US! The bags are packed (mostly), the house is empty (mostly), the boys are sleeping (soundly), and Mr. Four and I have a quiet few hours before we leave the house for our midnight flight back to the US. We’ve had a busy few days, filled with lots of goodbyes. We met some wonderful people here in Cairo, and it’s hard to leave these friends. Bug was convinced the rocks were made of hardened snow (like lava). Posted by Ms. Four. Our life in egypt. In DreamTown, even that s...

Packing day « We Four in Egypt
https://egypt4.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/packing-day
We Four in Egypt. Now back in the US! As I type, there are two Egyptian men in my living room building boxes and packing most of our stuff into them. Mr. Four and I are drinking beers, Bug has already fallen asleep for the evening, Giggle is watching. And Mr. Puppy is observing it all anxiously. Posted by Ms. Four. Moving is a stressful, glad to see yours seemed to go rather smooth. Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time. On Why are we here? Duda on Adoption in Egypt. On At the stroke of midnight.

After we signed the lease and had a delicious lunch (burritos with spinach! Now we’re biding time til we can start our Friday. Our friends loaded us up with sheets and air mattr...We have...

Suspended animation « We Four in Egypt
https://egypt4.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/suspended-animation
We Four in Egypt. Now back in the US! It’s been several weeks, and it’s still dreamy here in Dream Town. And life is mostly normal. I’m working (the job is great), the boys are in school, we bought a car (a Honda Fit, which I love), and we have all our stuff from Cairo and College Town. Mr Four is not working for now, which has been a huge help in getting us settled. He brings the boys to school and picks them up in the afternoons, and he makes dinner most nights. Posted by Ms. Four. I’m glad the r...
