Back in Danbury

The weather has been beautiful in Wisconsin since we’ve arrived.  We’ve had a few thunderstorms and an evening of steady rain as well as plenty of sunshine.   We’ve done the unpacking and cleaning and completed one day of the fireplace installation.  So far they’ve installed the fireplace itself and framed it in.  Later this week we’ll get the stonework on.  We also spent an afternoon at the Jebel house with Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art.   Grandpa Art took Kai and Nora hunting for worms and promises to take them fishing later.  For both of them digging for worms has been the coolest thing they have done in months.  It is all they talk about even a day later.

Enjoy the pictures.

A Visit With Uncle Jim

Yesterday we were able to drive across the causeway and spend a day visiting with Uncle Jim, Aunt Julie, Uncle Eric and Evelyn as well as a shipmate of Jim’s that joined him.  It a typical hot and humid day in Bahrain but a dip in the pool was nice and it was the first time Jim, Ben and Julie have been in the same place for quite some time!

Kai Turns Six!

Here is a collection of pictures from Kai’s birthday events.  He had a week of birthday celebrations as he had a party with his class, we had a party with friends a few days later on the weekend and a quiet dinner on the actual day of his birthday.  My apologies for the pictures of his class party and home party being mixed up together in the gallery.
