Derin Ege'nin Ilk Sac Kesimi / Derin Ege's First Haircut

9 Temmuz gunu Derin Ege, ilk kez saclarini kestirdi. Cok sakin bir sekilde, bagirip cagirmadan oturdu, aynada kendine bakti. Saclarini kesen ablasi onu gunun en iyi musterisi ilan etti. Aferin Derin Ege'ye!!

On July 9th, Derin Ege had his first haircut. He made no fuss whatsoever, and was named the best customer of the day! Good job Derin Ege!!


Ilk once, nasil bir sekil olmasi konusuluyor..
First, a discussion on how the cut should look like


Sonra, pelerini giyilip kesim basliyor
Then, the cape is put on, and the cutting begins


Derin Ege pek heyecanli: "ooo..bu sac kesimi olayi pek bir ilgincmis"
Derin Ege gets excited: "Oooh, getting a haircut is pretty cool"


Sanki ellinci kez sac kestirir gibi sakin
He is as cool as if it's his fiftieth haircut


O yukarida donen sey de ne? Upuzun bir tren!!

Son rotuslar ve....sonuc muhtesem.
The last touch-ups, and the result is great!

Anneanne ve dedenin ziyareti / Grandparents' Visit

Derin Temmuz ayi icinde ilk kez dedesiyle tanisti, 6 ay sonra da yeniden anneannesine kavustu. Onlarla zaman gecirmekten cok zevk aliyor. Baska kim onu her gun disariya dolasmaya ve oyun oynamaya goturuyor ki zaten? Bizim gibi evinden cok cok uzakta yasayan insanlarin bebekleri icin buyukanne ve buyuk babalariyla zaman gecirebilmek cok guzel birsey. Minik Derin de bu acidan cok mutlu. Yakinda insallah babaanne ve buyukbabasiyla, amcalari, halasi ve Gozde teyzesiyle de tanisacak. Ne kadar guzel!!

This July, Derin met his grandfather for the first time. They have been really enjoying their time together. He had also missed his grandma, and was very happy to see her again after 6 months! He is looking forward to now meeting his grandparents (on his dad's side), his uncles, and his aunts. He can't wait! Being so far away from them is not easy, so he's enjoying any time he can get with them.

Seattle Trip - July 2011

After our trip to Florida, we thought our vacation should end with a trip to our old city Seattle. We went to see our friends, and catch up on the time since we last saw each other. It was a wonderful couple days, full of fun and love!

Derin enjoyed meeting our friends, and also had a great time with his new friend Lara. Too bad they can't spend more time with each other.

Here are the photos. Enjoy!!

Florida Keys and Miami Trip - June 2011

Both Yuksel and I needed a vacation of pure "do nothing". I think for the most part, we managed it. We went to the Keys for a few days, then to Miami beach - no partying, of course. Liked Miami Beach a lot. Keys...eh!

Most of all, Derin LOVED being in the water and playing in the sand. As he grows up and learns how to swim, he will enjoy it even more. It was great to see that.

Enjoy some photos from the vacation.

Father's Day and Washington, DC Trip

We went to Washington, DC for the Father's Day weekend. Yuksel has one of his best friends who lives there, and who also had a baby girl in February. It was very meaningful for the two of them to celebrate their first Father's Day together, during a beautiful weekend. We had a lot of fun! It was also my first time in DC, also my aunt's.

Enjoy the album from that weekend. You can click on each photo to see it bigger, if you'd like.
