Bosphorus	The Big Picture
We took BC with us to dinner tonight to one of our favorite local establishments, Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe. Amazing Turkish cuisine. It was a very enjoyable family date night. BC was surprisingly good - quite polite and well-behaved. We'll see how long that'll last... ~M	I don’t always understand the big picture, which is ok.  But there is something so special when I catch a glimpse of it.  You see, SJ was a surprise and I was a little nervous about how I was going to handle this pregnancy at my “advanced age” (to quote my Dr).  I wasn’t sure how the dynamics at home would be affected.  I just hadn’t pictured this so I didn’t know what to expect. This morning as I was reading my favorite book outside with SJ close by, I was reminded of how blessed I am.  What a beautiful picture!  Honestly there is more love and joy in this home since SJ’s arrival.  So blessed!   ~A
