My Hany Moon

On my honeymoon which was 4 yaers ago I went to Germany. It was an unforgetable trip. The weather was wonderful. The nature around you makes you feel as if you were in heaven. People there were very nice and friendly.

One of the beautiful places that I visited there was the Palace of Neuschwanstein. It was a fairy-tale palace built by King Ludwig more than 100 years ago. It was built on top of a high mountain. We had too walk about 30 min all the way to the top to get there. Inside the Palace was beatuiful and filled with very expensive items. I realy enjoyed the journy and Iwish that I have the chance to go there again.

Jena

I have a lovely, beautiful two year-old daughter. We named her Jena, which in Arabic means the honey of heaven. She is very active and passionate. My husband says she is another me just without all the drama! The best part of my day is when I pick her up from daycare and she runs enthusiastically, screaming "mama...mama" and wants her hug!

My husband and I talk to her in both English and Arabic and as a consequence she is learning to be bilingual. Our friends that speak Arabic find it very funny sometimes because Jena will say words in Arabic with an American accent or English words with an Arabic flare.

Her favorite pass times are to read her books, dance, sing and play hide and seek. It is a wonderful thing to watch this non-verbal, non-mobile creature become an inteligent, running all-over-the-place, non-stopping little adult! We are truely blessed.
