News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
It is my first video post!  When I came home a couple of days ago Vangie was playing a game with Nora and Kai where they would pack a little bag and then go on a “trip” around the pillar in the playroom quickly arriving back home. I managed to catch a bit of the tail end of the game the camera though it was tough with Kai climbing on me so that he see the screen on the camera.

Our favorite bakery down in Khobar is Latif Patries which is just a few feet from where the north entrance of the old Al-Shula mall used to be before it burned down. The main part is for men only (of course) but a few years back they added a side room where 
women and families could go up 
and place their order through a small window. Ali is the head baker there and he always shows us cell phone pictures of his young daughter and loves holding Kai and Nora. ((who generally end up being passed through the window)) He always gives them a little bottle of juice as well and, for Kai, that is the high point of his visits to Khobar. ((We’ve told Kai that he shouldn’t ask for the juice.  This last time after we ordered he sat squirming in the little seat by the window mumbling “juice” under his breath until he couldn’t take it any more and lept onto the chair and shouted “JUICE!”)) This last time Kai got a tour of the back rooms of the bakery and all I had was my cell phone camera so please excuse the poor quality of the images. Nora took a little bit to warm up to Ali but eventually walked over and gave him a kiss on her own.
