News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
I haven’t posted any images in a while so I thought I’d throw together a few recent ones and get them posted. Enjoy!
The big news in the Jacobs household is that Crystal has been offered a new position for the upcoming school year as a District Curriculum Coordinator for Saudi Aramco Schools. She’ll work closely with the other Coordinator to develop and implement curriculum and provide support for professional development for all five schools in the district. It will mean a move out of the classroom and into an office which will be a substantial change to navigate but Crystal is excited for it.
I’m trying to get more milage out of the fact that my phone has a camera. You’d think that would come in handy and I’d use it all the time but the truth is I rarely think of it. Also, it takes really bad pictures in all but the best lighting. However, with that said these two are viewable.  The first picture is of Nora running ahead of us on the way to the mail center. When she really gets going she throws her arms back (to reduce drag I assume). The second picture is of Kai getting a hair cut. He’s come a long way since the days of “hold him down and cut it short, quick!”  He actaully seemed to enjoy it this time but did establish the ground rule of “only scissors, no buzzer.”
We bought a coconut at the commissary and had a little bit of fun with it the other day.  “Alas
, poor Yorick” occured to me as Kai was examining the “face” and it made for some cute pictures that capture the moment. Your high school English teacher gets bonus points if you get the reference.  After lots of shaking and guessing what was inside we opened it in the backyard and had a taste.  Nora liked it, Kai didn’t.
