Memorial, Monument, Museum ...... hot, walking, exhausted ....... mmmmm pretty much sums up this day :)We started of at The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum (Sten F. Udvar-Hazy Center) and that was brilliant. Then we headed back into DC to go to the Natural History Museum, very interesting. The line outside the American History Museum was so very long we decided to skip this and head down to

Happy 4th of July America !We were still battling with adjusting to coming forward in time so ended up sleeping REALLY late this morning. Once we were up and ready (10ish) we headed up the road to the Metro. The plan was to head into DC, to the Mall to watch the parade .... The news had been saying "Get there early !" Parade started at 11:45am - we got to the Constitution Avenue at 12 ....

Day 16 we headed up to Annapolis to meet a freind. Had a wonderful day on the water. Exploring this historic area was so interesting.... Andre's comment "I could live here !" It is a lovely area. Good lunch and great company made for a brilliant day !

So this was our travel day to DC but we managed to squeeze in one last trip into the park. You see we had been hunting down Donald Duck for a photo and autograph since arriving at Disney and boy had he been elusive ! Anyway we managed to run into him along with a few others and the autograph bok is full - 13 characters in total. What can we say, we LOVED Disney, it was exhausting but wonderful.

Disney photos will follow - there are just SO many and we are having SO much fun - no time to sit trying to load photos ;)We're still puzzled how people find the time to go to the movies as Disney ..... there is just too much to see and do - park opens at 8am and closes at midnight.

Highlight of the day - more character huntong and I finally got my ears. Lowlight - waiting in line for more than an hour (in the heat of the day) for the Grizzly River Run only to be told it had broken down and wouldn't be running anymore.Regular morning in the park - entered at 9ish and headed straight to ToonTown to try and hunt down Donald again.... no luck :( We did see several other

EARLY start today, after getting back to the hotel a little after 11pm last night we headed out at 6:45am to take advantage of our Morning Madness entry. We managed to get an early start on The Mattahorn and the Finding Nemo Submarine as well as Autopia. Then it was over the road from Disneyland to California to get in line to book our place for the 9pm show - World of Color. From there we

This was our moving day - from Hollywood to Disneyland. We ended up leaving the hotel mid-morning and after a shortish stop at Universal Studios for some last minute souvenirs, we headed down to Santa Monca Pier for a last look around. Midday saw us heading out to Disney .... we checked in just before 1pm :) We were a little disappointed with our room as it meant we didn't have a view of the

More lazy SoCal days - we only left the hotel just before 11am. After sleeping VERY late we grabbed some breakfast and headed out to San Dimas to see where Andre had spent his time on his visits to the US before. Lovely little town. BIGGEST highlight - We stopped in at TARGET and had a ball shopping - girls are almost completely re-clothed heheheAnd now as it is our last day at the Holiday Inn

Lazy days in SoCal (Southern California) today we headed back to Universal Studios so the girls could play in the Curious George Waterpark. While waiting for the water park to open, and for the day to heat up - the day was pretty cool with all of us bundled in our sweaters, we were lucky enough to see the first show of the new Special Effects Stage at Universal - absolutely excellent !

What did today hold ?? July 25 - First anniversary of Michael Jackson's death. His star on the HWofF was packed not only with people but also news crews. We hopped on a tour bus and took a look at some of the sites Hollywood had to offer, including RUSH getting their star on the HWofF. After Hollywood we headed down to Venice Beach -- very interesting ;)

Another busy day - we started off with The Petersen Automotive Museum... interesting, some very beautiful cars and bikes. All are in working order - WOW ! From there we headed to the La Brea Tar Pits - Page Museum. Very interesting ! We all realised though that we do not have the patience to be paleontologists hehehe. All the exhibits have been extracted from the tar pits in the area. We

Simple post - we spent the day at Universal Studios..... fun fun fun !From experiencing Shrek 4D to the Jurassic Park Ride to Waterworld and the Back Lot Studio Tour (a look at Wisteria Lane, general sets, JAWS, The Grinch, War of the Worlds etc etc etc), Lunch at Mel's Diner, Animal Actors and more. The many fun characters to meet and photograph, the CityWalk afterwards, we were quite frankly

Goodbye New York........ Hello Los Angeles.Early start for us - we left the hotel at 4:50am and headed to JFK.Very helpful United Airlines staff - we were prepared to pay for our luggage but "Mary P" informed us that if we showed our international tickets the luggage charge could be waivered - YAY ! ... cos a surprise was awaiting us in LA.Thankfully this flight Andre didn't have any special

So what did we do today ? Late start after our disruption last night, we headed straight to Central Park. Well kind of, off the ferry, on the NY Waterway bus which dropped us at 57th street, the plan was to walk to CP and then have a carriage ride. Lucky us, Colm (the driver) was heading back and offered to drive us from where we were at Columbus Circle and into Central Park.

At 11:30pm we were woken (remember it had been a long day hehehe girls actually dosed off while we were waiting for dinner at 9pm) by a fire alarm announcement going off in our room. Tried calling the front desk to see if it was real but heard commotion outside our room so figured it must be. Quickly got dressed and headed out. Panic in the hallway as everyone was heading down our way of the

Another busy day in a busy city. Today was (for me at least) all about being human - we visited places that celebrated the strength of the human spirit, the need for freedom, a volunteering heart and duty to fellow man.First stop Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We weren't too sure about this as the day started out pretty overcast. This was pretty good because it wasn't too hot (got there

Waking up at 3:30am is no fun hehehe the fact that it was in NYC --- well a little more bearable !Busy day ahead, after breakfast we headed to the ferry and across the river we headed to, first stop : The Empire State Building. Took the elevator up to the 102nd floor to the closed viewing deck and then back down again to the open deck (86th floor). Although the 86th floor should have given us

NOTE to self - we do not need anymore babies hehehePre-big adventure we took the cats down to Khobar to kennels (Wednesday morning). Meouwie our oldest obviously gets car sick because she did similar on her long trek up to Rastanura last July.Halfway into the drive Meouwie decides to have a nice runny pooh in her cat box and in her efforts to 'cover' it up she steps in it.

We left home (Rastanura) at 12:25am..... drove across to Bahrain.... flight left a little after 3:50am..... arrived in Dubai 6:30ish and then 8:35am we headed directly to JFK.....Of course Andre had his boarding pass re-issued in Dubai with a very special SSS printed on it -- secondary security screening :) Flight was long but uneventful and finally we were disembarking in New York !

In the last year (when this poor blog was on the back burner) SOOOOOO much happened - tha'll be my excuse for neglecting the poor blog :)Andre moved jobs/companies and so we moved house. When we arrived in kingdom 8 years ago, Andre was contracted to Aramco. Aramco is the largest oil company in the world and basically the kings bank account :) Well July 2009 Andre was employed directly by the

Two school years have passed since my last posting :(So here is a quick update --Andre has changed companies - huge move for us - he now works for Saudi Aramco and we moved home from Khobar to Rastanura. This means the girls and I travel on a bus to school each day, approx. 60mins on a good day with little traffic. Makes for a very long day but the home is good, the husband is happy and we live

After her recent visit to the vet to be shaved, the vet finally decided that what previous vets had been calling 'hairballs' in her abdomen were lumps in her mammary glands. So she was booked in the following week for the lumps to be removed. She returned

It's taken a while but finally finally finally after the 5th swimming lesson, Lucy is putting her head IN the water more than she's not. Irony is, this is meant to have been our water-birth baby and she can't 'do' water hehehe This was the last class before badges next week, so now we just have to hold thumbs that she'll be able to do the 10m (width of the swimming pool) completely on her own, no

Saudi Aramco was celebrating their 75th anniversary this last week. So King Abdullah, the 6th king of Saudi Arabia was visiting to participate in the celebrations. He was almost 9 years old when the company was started in 1933. Due to celebrations and demonstrations at Aramco Dhahran (main camp) as well as other venues in and around Dhahran on Tuesday, we had a virtual day. This meant our

My baby boy is missing .......He was last seen on Sunday the 11th. In the three years he has been with us, he has never not slept in our bed ! So when he didn't turn up on Monday .... something must have been wrong ! We have walked the compound up and down, inside and out, several times a day, calling him.

Next stop on Thursday was the compound organised Luau - kindof end of year function at the main pool. It started at 2pm, so when Andre and the girls left me at school they went straight there and I joined them after work. There were organised games, the inflatable island, wonderful food and well just relaxing by the pool. An altogether fun-packed afternoon. The evening events were adults only but

And here we are again, just exactly where the year drained away to I have no idea but once again we prepare for the annual student-led conferences.I was busy with my middle school students and the presentations of their very successful electronic portfolios - we used blogger this year and it worked so very well, I am so proud of their efforts.After Andre had taken Lucy to swimming lessons, they

Our annual Moms and Muffins was held on Tuesday May 13. The girls and I headed to the cafetorium to enjoy some yummy muffins, listen to some singing by the elementary students (Lucy's grade level sange first, followed by Aimee's), look through an art display and then a display of mother's day and other creative writing.A lovely morning spent with the girls.

Some of you may recognise the name Rastanura because Andre worked at the Rastanura Aramco refinery for the first 3 years of our stay in Saudi. On Friday (05/09/08) we left before the crack of dawn - well maybe not literally but it felt that way to head out to Rastanura for a triathlon, so it was 5:40am ! There are no photos to go along with the post not because we weren't allowed to take photos,

We went to the doctor a week ago to get Aimee's prescription filled and he asked when last she had had an ECG and her blood checked ? Of course we had to answer never, as no one had asked before. From the conferences and research I have done on ADHD, I knew this was becoming common practice to keep tabs on the long term affects of Ritalin but none of the doctors we had ever seen had requested it.

While Andre and I went down for breakfast and checkout on our last morning in Bangkok, Aimee and Lucy waited in the room (naked so as not to mess up the clothes they'd be wearing to go home, but I won't post any of the incriminating ones here hehehe). They were angels, played together and read together in bed. Proving on one of the odd occassions, they could be loving hehehehehe Didn't have

Aimee celebrated her 9th birthday on March 31st 2008.She was thrilled with her gifts and not overly concerned that she wouldn't be having a party.It was explained that she would be having an awesome time and loads of special experiences in Thailand.

The closest IKEA, quite possibly my favorite store, is hours away in Riyadh. They have been building one down the road for the last 'forever' but it is finally showing signs of completion so maybe by the summer I can visit that one.In the meantime, we visit the one in Riyadh. To add to the adventure, we decided to take the train from Dammam to Riyadh. Armed with my handy dandy IKEA catalog we

The month of February is historically reading month at DEMS.Of course there's the reading challenge - with keeping a daily record of minutes read; book buddies; book swap; mystery readers and more. The highlight though is always the last day when we have a character parade and finish off with the school enjoying stories read to them by the library staff and other teachers.This year we went "

We live on Al Hada which is a smaller compound on the larger compound. Oasis bought the compound last May and there have been some changes. Notably the name of the larger compound is now Oasis Gardens, not Al Bustan anymore.We have also had some changes to the gardens. They removed some of the more invasive trees and replaced them with HUGE palm trees. We are told they will clean up the rest of

It was VERY early on a Tuesday morning, 2:30am to be precise when Andre arrived home. He had driven home from Yanbu - was expecting him mid-morning, but I guess maybe the incentive to get home quicker was more than he could ignore hehehe. Needless to say there were three very happy girls in our house Tuesday ! After three weeks, we were starting to forget what he looked like hehehe.Wednesday was

Every year at school we have a Dads 'n Donuts where all our dads are invited to school 7:30-8:15 to share a donut and some coffee with their kids. This year it was Sunday 17th February but sadly Aimee and Lucy's Daddy was sitting in a hotel in Yanbu.So I was the stand-in this year (sadly again, last two years Andre has been away).We started by viewing some pottery the girls had done in Art class.

The last time Andre was able to attend the 7's was a couple of years ago. Each year he signs up to go and ref and has to bail at the last minute due to work commitments.This year would have been the same situation so he decided to not even sign up. Close to last minute though it looked like he would be able to make it. Rather than mess with appoinments that had already been worked out, he decided

The girls attended a birthday party of one of Aimee's arab classmates recently. Was at a farm so it was a cowboy theme. Each child - and there were plenty, got a bandana & cowboy hat to wear and a sherif's badge. They enjoyed horserides and games included shooting at targets, and sack races (notice the interesting sacks hehehe). The girls had a ball and wow you should have seen the cake/s -

Our wonderful PTG (Parent-Teacher-Group) organises a 2 day International Festival at school so that all the students can take a trip around the world.The whole thing starts weeks in advance with the students making flags and doing drawings about their countries, obviously the parents are seriously preparing as well. Then to launch, the students in national dress or colors - or in our case some

Before the holiday, we had two celebrations at school....Thanksgiving, so you'll see our little pilgrims & indians (Lucy's class made hats for both and got the choice of what they wanted to wear during their party.) enjoying a Thanksgiving feast. Lucy contributed mini Milktarts - yes I made 40 bite size milktarts from scratch :shock: the idea was the students brought in a dessert from their own

Well its long over due but better late than never. After my machine crashed there seemed no point but I managed to find some of the photos so.... here we go.From my last posting to us leaving for the break was typically chaotic for me.

So this blog is mostly about how we as a family are all doing and what we're up to. Considering my darling husband who was meant to be involved with authoring it has left it completely up to me, I'm gonna take this opportunity to spring a few of my thoughts on the world.Tomorrow marks nine whole years since my father was shot outside a post office in Westmead.

Well I have three postings sitting in drafts because they contain photos and my connection is being more than a little uncooperative at present. As soon as I find the time and patience to wage the war, those posts will appear. These include, Halloween parade at school, Rugby in Doha and the girls first experience on a jetski - visiting Larry and Nikki.Til then.....you'll have to just be content

It was a very pleasant evening to be outside,

Wednesday October 31 was a sugar-high day at school. After lunch all the elementary students changed into their costumes and headed to the theater for a short musical performance. After that is was a parade and then to the classrooms for their Halloween parties. Aimee and Lucy headed out to Sayako's house for a party after school too.

As many of you may know I headed off to Bangkok for a NVS conference on Sunday night. Well first up aren't they so nice to arrange a conference in such a wonderful spot hehehe. We arrived at about lunchtime (Bangkok time) after a very noisy and uncomfortable flight only to find our rooms were not ready. They offered to give us upgraded rooms - but at our cost :( naturally we declined. We were

André is once again at the Bahrain 10's this weekend. The girls and I joined him there yesterday for a bit of swimming before the tournament kicked off. But ....after getting home close to midnight last night we decided to send him on his merry way today.

Lucy turned 7 on October 7, 2007. Except for the October that'd look pretty cool hehehe. We did the present thing before heading out for school and of course because her main present was a trampoline (which her big sister helped us put together the night before), we were very excited to get home and put in some more jumping time :) Does it look like she was excited at her surprise ????

The 2007 Rugby World Cup kicked off in France September 7 much to our enjoyment.September 9, our first game saw me at school for our Annual Open House - never fear though, I went along in my Springbok kit and received score updates from my wonderful husband throughout the evening :)September 14, our second game of the tournament saw me in a hotel room in Jordan - once again wearing my Springbok

As I head off to Jordan today - ECPW meeting, I wish you all Ramadan Kareem. Even though we have had terrible dusty/sandy days with almost no chance of sighting the moon, the powers that be have decided Ramadan has started. So its, no eating, drinking, chewing gum, smoking etc. in public for the next month. Consolation is the Eid break at the end I guess =)Have a good month wherever you are !

Its just busy busy busy busy busy here, so much to do and not enough hours in the day.We are so pleased to have started the year with increased enrollment but sadly not enough teachers - any takers out there ???Other than this, well there's not much time for anything else. Maybe in a few weeks it'll quieten down - we hope so anyway.

Tis the season....not Christmas yet hehehe but it seems to be the season for losing teeth.Lucy is now showing us a really adorable toothy grin. She has lost 4 teeth in front within days of eachother. Money making scheme I think - she keeps telling people she got a "5 dollar" for each tooth :shock: no way she only got SAR5 heheheThankfully it'll be a while until the tooth fairy has to dish out

We had booked swimming classes for the girls before going home to SA and the day has arrived.

Ok so its been a while .......Got back to Saudi last week and done a bit of a summer clean, moved furniture etc. you see with my mom moving out of our home in South Africa it meant there was space for Aimee to be in her own room. She asked for that once before here, we did it but after a few days, moved back in with her sister. Well here we have three rooms but the third has always been the

Right so I started trying to update the blog days ago, but my connection at home has been pretty much non-existent. So here I sit, on the way home, in Dubai airport.....Since the last update, weeks ago, my excuse is simple - year-end and the chaos that goes along with yearbook, graduation, report cards, student-led conferences and the extended list of things I needed to get done before June 12.

Well as I posted previously, André was home in RSA for the Super 14 final between the Sharks and Bulls. We have recovered sufficiently by now to talk about the trauma, heheheAndré had a fabulous weekend at home - thanks Mommy for looking out for my boy - but we have to add, a great weekend considering !Sadly our boys led for 80 minutes - yes a game of rugby IS meant to be 80 minutes. So you're

Aimee's second grade teacher was leaving early this year due to attending a graduation ceremony in the US and for her to become naturalised (she is Russian by origin). So her class's student-led conferences were held earlier than the rest of the school. This was followed by a play they had put on describing their typical day at school.Aimee has had a pretty decent year, finally has a little

Okay so the days and well weeks leading up to my departure to SA for the study trip were pretty hectic.We had a Family Carnival on the Wednesday evening before I left and some stupid twit got coerced into being put into the dunk tank.Here with are photos of the trauma which my husband and children got great delight in witnessing :)(and no those glasses were not a personal fashion statement !)

Well I got back from SA on Saturday night late from our study trip. Was an awesome trip and I will be posting photos, take a look on the kids blog, no point in posting them all here and there !And we flew into action - well actually by the time André picked me up in the evening he pretty much had everything sorted.You see we had agreed that if our Sharks won their semi, and got a home final,

Okay so there hasn't been a posting in almost 2 weeks but I have an excuse. I leave today on our Student Study Trip to South Africa and Swaziland and well its been a little hair-raising. We have 11 students travelling on the trip ranging from 12-14 years old. We've had issues with getting visas but the real biggie was Tuesday night when I got a phonecall to say even though I had tickets issued

10 days ago we welcomed a very timid little creature into our home -how he will ever survive this mad house I have no idea ?!Boris - named after his heritage - he's a Russian Hamster - more than likely miniture, we're not sure but he is pretty small - well smaller than we ever remember hamsters being.He is not very social yet but will happily emerge from his sawdust hole if you're offering food :

So lets travel back in time to laaast weekend. I didn't post because André and I were due to go the Grand Prix in Bahrain and thought we'd make it just one posting then. News before that was simple... yay Lucy and I went back to school on Tuesday, we were finally pox-free. Poor Aimee had had to have her birthday put on hold because of her sister's pox so once we were back at school, we went

We may well live in Saudi and every year we have to wonder if the Easter Bunny will make it through customs. This year, we are once again happy to announce......he made it ! (thanks to mom's recent visit to Greece hehehe)It's a Sunday, but it's a school day nevertheless - so thankfully no wake-up-at-dawn issues. It's getting warmer too, which means the Bunny is only going to visit near sunset,

Well now mom is home from Greece, dad can go back to work :)We decided - once mom had had a good sleep and recovered from her trip, to head to the soccer field for Aimee to practice riding her bike some more and Lucy to kick a ball around.Of course the girls each had to have a go at photography - have spared you the VERY blurry ones hehehe ooo and you get to see a close up of our spotty child -

Everything I Need to Know,I Learned from the Easter Bunny...Don't put all your eggs in one basket.Walk softly and carry a big carrot.Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.There's no such thing as too much candy.All work and no play can make you a basket case.A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention.Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.Some body

Although Lucy was all spotty, we decided to make the planned visit to Doha anyway. André was appointed to ref on Thursday night. We headed off on Thursday mid-morning and managed to get in a good few hours of relief from the.... (said in a very exasperated tone) "Why did I have to get chicken pox ?" heheheGirls were very excited to see Uncle 'Lerry' again and considering that Nikki and Brad

How ADD am I ?While sitting in an ADD session this afternoon with Dr. Ned Hallowell I received an sms from André asking what chicken pox looked like ! He was waiting outside the pharmacy - prayer time - to find out what the pharmacist had to say. Take a look at our "Calomine Kid" and you can see, their verdict hehehe Had to laugh, Dr. Hallowell was absolutely fabulous, in fact it was at last

WOW !!! Look at how good she is.We decided before her birthday that Aimee would get a two-wheeler bicycle for her birthday. André went and got it with her on Saturday (we had all looked before I left). The plan was to learn and practice while I was away in Greece. Isn't she great ! André sent me these photos this afternoon.I am so proud of you Aimee !

Greetings from a sunny Greece. Its Friday and although I have been pretty slack lately, thought I would get back to routine and post :)I arrived last night for a teachers conference. Its our Spring Break at school - we always try and work our calendar around the NESA Spring conference :) Andre has taken a little leave to be with the girls while I am away. So that covers the....I am here on my

Now that the weather is finally warming up a little, we decided to take a walk to the pond and do a little swimming. The night before we'd had a terrible wind - blew down a tree branch or two and of course plastic bags, trash and sticks all over the place :(So here we are enjoying the walk, feeding the fish, and a swim, in between a little rugby :)Andre was off to Yanbu today for most of the

Last week saw another Walkathon and Hot Dog Day at DEMS.This year as every year, we continued our support of Qatif Charitable Society - Orphans Committee and a new charity Room to Read through Elementary students sponsored walking. Middle School Students are donating theirs to the Mid-America Transplant Association in our previous principal's name, Mr. Bruce Hudson.We started bright and early

Andre spent the previous weekend in Bahrain.First at a conference and then for the rugby. We - the girls and I, weren't able to go as my passport was still in Riyadh for my Greek visa :( This unfortunately meant we saw him for barely 6 hours from Wednesday to Friday evening. The Midnight 10's was apparently really good, the Al Khobar team walked away with 1st place so of course they all came
