Important Places in Bethel... Tarkeita paikkoja Bethelissa

This is the duplex in which we live. We live on the right side.
Tassa on paritalo missa asutaan. Me asumme oikealla puolella.
Here is the front yard. There are two 2 story dulpexes. It's a great place for Maya and her friend Talan to play (who lives in the other 2 story dulpex). There are rarely any cars driving around. Much safer than our previous place.
Tassa meidan etupiha. Pihassa on kaksi kaksikerroista paritaloa. Tosi kiva paikka Mayan ja hanen kaverin Talanin leikkia (Talan asuu toisessa talossa). Harvon ajaa autoja ja on paljon turvallisempi kun meidan edellinen paikka.
This is our backyard! Meidan takapiha!

I realized that I haven't posted many pictures of Bethel and I decided to start a recurring post called "Important Places in Bethel". And the first place that I will show you is our new home!

Huomasin etten ole nayttanyt teille paljon Bethelista ja ajattelin aloittaa semmoinen sarja tassa blogissa kun "Tarkeita paikkoja Bethelissa" ja ensimmainen paikka on meidan uusi koti!
