Frequent Flyer McGuires: July 2014
http://flyermcguires.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2014. The weekends here in Turkey are our time to get away as a family and have fun. The weekdays can be hectic with work, school/summer camp/swim lessons for E, half marathon training, cooking, cleaning, bath time, pumping, nursing.well, you get the idea. Even little D gets exhausted from his Monday through Friday routine of tummy time and drooling with the nanny. But Saturday and Sunday is when we throw out routine and try to get away. The view from the restaurant. E and the ducks.

Frequent Flyer McGuires: June 2015
http://flyermcguires.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. It was a fun day. We even got sun burns! The sun's rays at this altitude are nothing to mess around with. Sunscreen for everyone next time. In other news, my boys are learning Spanish! D can actually say three words now: Hola, Agua and Gracias. And E comes home every day with new songs that he has memorized and new phrases or words that his teachers taught him. It's time for mom to get on the ball and start taking lessons of her own! Proudly waving his flag. E is at the top! It Mi...

Monday, June 30, 2014. But instead of focusing on the fact that they are gone, I choose to focus on the fond memories. The last couple weeks especially, were full of good times, from a traditional Turkish dinner (with belly dancer! To a fun-filled day at the water park, to a farewell family BBQ and last but not least, the Consulate Independence Day party where we all (maybe) had a bit too much drink that night. Afternoon at the pool - E and his buddy. Day at the water park with all the kids. As I said ea...

Frequent Flyer McGuires: May 2015
http://flyermcguires.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. We arrived in Bogota last week after what seemed like a lifetime of hoop-jumping, packing and preparation. It sure ain't easy picking up and relocating your life every 2-3 years! I do have a job that requires Internet, so we shot off a quick email to the powers-that-be and waited. Turned out, our apartment was no longer available at all. Packout had taken place the day before, so all our stuff was gone. We were within our weight limits and things were looking up. That didn't make...

Thursday, March 19, 2015. Old Friends Meet Again. Missing from this photo is E's dear friend M, who is still with his Mommy and Daddy in Africa. Unfortunately, we will miss them this time around, but hope to see them soon! Friday, March 13, 2015. Where The Heck Have You Been? My my, time certainly flies pretty fast when your life gets so crazy busy that you can't keep up. So, in an effort to answer the question that is the title of this post, THIS is where we have been these last few months. We also caug...

Wild Thoughts From Wild Places: West African Beauty Tips
http://wildthoughtsfromwildplaces.blogspot.com/2013/10/west-african-beauty-tips.html
Wild Thoughts From Wild Places. Wednesday, October 16, 2013. West African Beauty Tips. As a way to keep our spirits up given the uncertainty of our jobs (and paychecks), the men in our embassy have banded together and decided not to shave until the budget has passed. I've affectionately termed the effort "Beards for Budget.". Living in Africa isn't great for beauty maintenance and let's be honest- it's not like I put much effort into it even before moving to Togo, back when it was easy. I gathered nail f...

Towels packed, will travel. By towelspacked on July 29, 2015. This summer marks fifteen years since D first picked up a disc and started playing ultimate frisbee, a trajectory that has taken him from his New England college team to pick-up games in Spain and Costa Rica, tournaments throughout East Africa. And most recently the role of field captain for Moldova’s Flying Mamaligas. After an uncompetitive 10-0 victory over Gamble, a recently formed all-female team from Kyiv, the Flying Mamaligas regrouped a...
