....thanks for coming to read my blog.


I hope that you will enjoy keeping in touch with our lives, and that one day, you might even make the trek out to come and visit with us (**NB - VISA's upon arrival for Canadians once again!!).

Grab yourself a nice cup of tea (Make mine JTG's Blue Mountain, mixed with a hint of French Earl...but get something that suits your fancy), and let's catch up...

Busy "Hump" Day...


Back in the old country (Canada) Wednesdays are known as 'hump' days. I assume the name comes because Wednesday is the middle of the week--the day that every one has to get over in order to be heading closer to the weekend. I don't think the same applies here (because our weekend starts on Fridays--so technically Tuesday is OUR hump-day here). But--major digression--just for a title.

Here's how we spent our day:

1. We took NB S to the Al Mushrif Women's and Children's Screening Centre for a blood test for PKU. This test is not covered by insurance, and this clinic is the only one in the city that does the testing for free.
Sweet little baby feet!

2. We had to get passport pics for NB S. We have found that one can never have enough passport photos when you live in this country, as they are required for everything, not only just passports. Insurance cards, school & mailbox applications--any official paperwork seems to require a passport photo.

3. Just some family time: We basically just spent the morning out and about doing errands. In the afternoon, Peter took Baby N along for a ride while he picked up the passport photos and also the photos from our 'family portrait session'. On his way home, he managed to flag down the 'ice cream man' and got him (and his van) to follow him home to our villa. Boy--were all the kids in our neighbourhood thrilled!

Little A was treated to a Tom and Jerry ice cream cone, and Baby N had a very happy big sister as a result!



Finger Lickin' Good!
