News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
A couple of weeks ago Kai’s art school had its big, end of year art show. Kai submitted three pieces and, due to an overlapping appointment at an army themed birthday party ended up attending the show wearing a helmet and face paint. Nora, however, know that this was a formal event didn’t miss the chance to wear a nice dress.
The other day at breakfast Kai announced to me that “Me and grandpa are pretty much the same”. I said “oh?” Kai replied “yeah, we both have big teeth.” We have a collection of old family photos hanging in our living room and Kai was looking at the one of grandpa Art taken when he was in the 3rd grade. Clearly a lot of personality traits can be traced back to the size of your childhood front teeth.
At the end of this last week was Kai’s Kindergarten day. It was a small event just for the parents in his class to come in and spend a half hour to watch some pictures of the school year, thank the volunteer Moms and impress parents with some of the work they’ve done over the school year. Not only is that a pretty special day but it also coincided with Kai’s turn as student of the day which meant that he got to check the weather and lead the class in songs. He did a great job!
Jim flew into Bahrain earlier today and we were able to get over the causeway and welcome him! I thought this was worth posting a picture on the blog. We were thinking that the last time he saw Nora was when she was about 9 months old! As we were driving away though she did remark that she may go live with Uncle Jim because he was so nice.
Not too much to say with with post. Just cleared some pictures off of the camera and have worked them into a gallery. Enjoy!
