End of the School Year

As we wind down the last few days of this school year we said goodbye to our long time house-helper Jaffar who retired this month.   Jaffar has worked for us since we moved to Dhahran and worked for Ben’s family when he was growing up in Dhahran.

In other news we said goodbye to Kai’s long hair.   He had been growing it out for quite sometime and was really enjoying the mop-head but it finally got too much and he decided to get it cut short for summer.  Enjoy the pics!

End of Year Scouting Activities

Both Cub Scouts and Daisy Scouts closed out their year.  During the Cub Scout crossover Kai became a Webelo II.   All of the Webelo II’s welcomed the other advancing scouts by putting on their new kerchiefs for them.

Nora also said goodbye to her days as a Daisy Scout and had the crossover to Brownies with the rest of her troop.

Dance Recital and Art Show

We are coming into the home stretch before vacation!   There is a busy round of birthday parties as those with summer birthdays (inlcuding Kai) squeeze them in before the school year ends.   Both Kai and Nora are ending the school year on a high note having had great teachers across the board!

Here are some pictures from Nora’s dance recital last weekend as well as the end-of-year Art Show at the Hills School.   Enjoy!

More Jacobs Family Pictures

Still clearing out the picture backlog.  This set has the vacation countdown chains, Robin’s Run, Cub Scout building activities and some other end-of-school-year activities.  Enjoy!

Pinewood Derby and Bahrain

The very last Pinewood Derby came and went last month and both Kai and Nora had a good showing.   Kai’s car was competitive but didn’t make the finals.  It did, however, win the “Best Carved” award.    Nora’s took first place in the Sibling race and won the “Shark Attack” award.    Also included are picture from a recent mini-vacation where we went to Bahrain for a weekend of water parks and good food before the sprint through the last month of school starts.

Some Random Family Pictures

I finally went through and cleared out the cameras from the last few months.  Here is the first batch.  Enjoy!
