News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
Last Wednesday was Kai’s first day of Art School this year and he had really been looking forward to it. To celebrate Vangie prepped his hair and helped him pick out a turtleneck for the day.
Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs visited the other day. We met for breakfast as the Moonglow Cafe in Webster and then came back to the cabin to hang out.
Last Wednesday Kai came back from Art School with a painting inspired by Van Gough’s Starry Night. He was incredibly proud of it and couldn’t help but beam when he held it up. I’ve thrown in a picture of Nora eating crackers because she is just so cute.
Here are a few more random pictures that were waiting in the queue. The first couple were taken when Kai came back from art school where they explored mixing colors by mixing different colors of frosting. A pretty cool idea – and then the bonus was that they got to frost cookies and bring them home.
We celebrated Nora’s second birthday a little early this year so that we could have some friends over before everyone left for the long Eid holidays (these pictures are from a couple weeks ago and her birthday was a couple days ago). Most of the pictures below are from the run up to the party since I didn’t get the camera out much during the gathering.
It is amazing to think that it has been two years that Nora has been in our lives.  In some ways it seems like she just came home from the hospital and on the other hand its hard to picture our family unit without her.
Here is a quick set of pictures of Nora during a magic marker art time.
Crystal is having a great time provding art time for Kai and Nora. Kai enjoys making things while Nora mostly likes to taste them. Some recent expereinces were recently held in the backyard–you’ll see why in the pictures.
There isn’t much to write here, the captions pretty much speak for themselves. Enjoy!
