News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
I finally went through and cleared out the cameras from the last few months. Here is the first batch. Enjoy!
Here are a few random pictures from the start of the school year. They are growing fast with Kai now in 4th grade and Nora in 1st. Enjoy the photos!
Nora’s big dance recital recently finished and I’ve posted a few pictures.
Enjoy!
Here are a few recent pictures from Kai’s 3rd Grade “School House Rock” concert as well as the arrival of Nora’s dance recital costumes. Enjoy!
What is more cute than a bunch of pre-school ballet dancers dressed as fairies during their big dance recital? Very little.
Back to clearing out the camera. The Pinewood Derby was a couple of weeks ago but here are some pictures of the building (or at least painting) of the cars.
In Nora’s dance group last year one of the sets of older girls did a Macarena number. Nora watched a few of their rehearsals and remembered a few key lyrics (OK, just one) and some moves. All the other missing parts she filled in through logical interpolation. Incidentally she was doing this for several minutes before I started video taping and it went on for much longer. She was having so much fun Kai decided to join in. The squeaking in the back ground was Webster chewing on one of his new toys that had just arrived in our shipment.

I’ve been clearing the pictures off of my iPhone and came across a few more from Nora’s recital. Enjoy!
Nora’s big activity this year was per-ballet dance class. She’s really enjoyed it and her dance recital was this last weekend. In the video below Nora is on the far left–she is the one dancing to a different drummer .
We are thankful that with such energetic spins no one near her got socked with a mermaid tail. Towards the end she gets very distracted by something off stage. Initially we thought the distraction was most likely an exasperated dance teacher wildly gesticulating for her to look forward and dance rather than stare off stage. We did investigate though and found out the attraction was the next group of little girls lining up for their dance number. They had maracas mind you so it was totally understandable.

After school activities are back in full swing and, with Nora turning 4, she is able to start joining her own. She started preschool this week and is enrolled in a dance class as well. Kai has joined cub scouts and is continuing with his soccer team, art school and Karate. It keeps us all busy after school. Here are a few pictures. For those that seem grainy and out of focus that is on purpose. I was using the hipstamic app on my iphone to get that old-photo-nostalgia. It takesa very fancy camera to get pictures that bad so easily!
