Cleaning out the fridge

With departure back to Saudi Arabia iminent it was time to clean out the fridge and freezer.  Art, Ellen, Julie, Eric and Evelyn all showed up to help out the cause.  We had a wonderful meal of steak and salmon.

It was been an excellent winter visit to Danbury but we’re looking forward to getting back to Saudi where it will be a bit warmer (transcontinental flights not withstanding).

Enjoy a few more random pictures from the end of the trip.

Fishing with Grandpa

One of the coolest activities for Kai and Nora this summer was digging worms and then going fishing with Grandpa Art.  They didn’t hook any fish this summer but then they also didn’t hook any brothers or sisters so that is good at least.

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

I hope you all have had a wonderful 2009 and we are wishing you the best for a peaceful and prosperous new year!  We ended 2009 on a high note this year.  Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art are over for a visit which is a special treat for Kai and Nora.  Also, it rained a little on new year’s day which is always a special event over here.

Christmas in Bahrain

It was a very merry Christmas this year!   We spent three days at Julie and Eric’s over in Bahrain along with Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art (and Lucy and Willa).  Christmas eve we had the traditional fondue and Christmas day after opening presents we had a feast with both kinds of roast beast (ham and turkey).

A Jebel Visit

Our vacation is slipping by faster than I can get pictures uploaded.  These are from a visit to the Jacobs’ Jebel last week where Kai and Nora had a chance to play with the puppies.  They really look forward to the dogs and Kai has been putting the hard sell on getting a dog of our own.
