We are thankful for grandparents, family members and other friends who have come to visit us here in Bahrain. We know we don’t live in an exotic locale any longer so it’s nice to know that people really do like us.

Sadly the grandparents have gone and Thanksgiving is over. So life has slowed down, right? Nope.
Our friends from Oman came for the weekend. Caleb’s friend wanted to spend her birthday with us so we got to party all weekend. A trip to the waterpark, dinner out, dessert from Lilou’s (the French cafe that does chocolate like I’ve never experienced before), and
lots of friend time.

They made clothes for their stuffed animals by cutting up baby socks

Choco-Mocho, Chocolate Volcano, Le Noir . . . and several other delicacies.

At the waterpark: Play Pen or a cage? . . . you decide.

We went first thing in the morning so we had the place all to ourselves. No lines anywhere!

On our way to Baskin-Robbins — they must have known our Bob was in town!
(Caleb, K-Bob, otherwise known as Bob at our house).
The boys have the next two days off of school for the Shia holiday Ashura. I’m thankful for the extra time to rest after a busy several weeks!
