After School Activities

In no time at all it seems that our evenings have become booked with activities for Kai and Nora.   Kai has soccer, art school and Karate while Nora is starting up her first gymnastics class.   Here are a few pictures of how we are spending our evenings these days.

The New Car

Earlier this month we made the decision to purchase a new vehicle and landed on a Hyundai Vera Cruz.   Even after paying for the car the government paperwork stretched on and on to the point where we didn’t take delivery until the day after Crystal left on a two week business trip to the US.

The upside is that I actually get to drive a very nice ride for two weeks!    Kai and Nora are very impressed especially with the rear AC!

Bubbles and the Beach

During the recent Eid break we had a very nice staycation rather than travel anywhere.   It was actually a real treat and the weather was certainly nice enough (for this time of year anyway).   Blowing bubble and visiting the beach were two of our pass times.

Nora Turns 3!

My how time flies.  Giving Nora her first bath in the hospital after she was born seems like a recent memory and here she is turning three already.

Nora requested a Hello Kitty theme for the party and thankfully we had a cake specialist that could handle a Hello Kitty order and our good friend Ellen Alquist had recently been to Japan and so was able to bring back plenty of Hello Kitty swag from the Hello Kitty homeland.   Pictures follow–enjoy!
