News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
A few weeks ago we had some rain (very late in the season for that) so we headed out to the wadis in the desert at the edge of camp. The rain runoff had exposed some new rocks and we found some really interesting ones. It was hot but still bearable. At this point just a few weeks later we are already climbing well into the 100’s every day so our desert trips are probably done for the season.
Clone troopers, feeding the birds, 100 day glasses and keeping a horse in the house. Enjoy the pictures.
A few random pictures from December.
The Christmas tree has gone up!
Even though we did a Thanksgiving meal with Julie and Eric we still like to cook our own turkey because the leftovers are so good. After the big meal we broke out the tree and decorated.
It was a Jacobs/Lacouture feast in Bahrain on Friday. The weather was beautiful and Kai and Nora really enjoyed to the chance to see Julie, Eric and the puppies.
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.
Crystal had her birthday yesterday. Homemade cards and a homemade cake!
Today was Kai’s first day of Kindergarten and what a day it was. He is going to sleep well tonight!
In the morning they read The Gingerbread Man and in the afternoon they baked some. I was expecting Kai to bring one home to eat but instead he could barely contain himself with the story that they put in them in the oven to bake but them someone must have opened the door before they were done because all 17 ran out and were last seen headed towards the library. Tomorrow they are going to continue the search.
It’s a new picture format! We’ll try it for a little while anyway and see how it goes. These are just a few random pictures that were taken in the last couple of weeks but I thought it was time to get some fresh content up. Click on the picture to enlarge. Right-click after it is enlarged to open in a new window (full size).

Now that I’ve downloaded the pictures from my phone I think I have them all processed and these are the last. Now I can start working through the pictures that we’ve taken in the month we’ve been back. Enjoy!
