It's a . . . . well first you may likely know. Second, there is an announcement on the bottom of the page.
To catch you up quickly before the announcement, last weekend I was off in Dubai for a teacher leadership conference. In short, it was a great conference, I learned a lot about managing conflict, building teams, and facilitating change. I was also able to meet many people from many different schools which is great for our uncertain future when we leave Saudi Arabia.
This week we are off of school this week for Eid al Adha, this holiday celebrates the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. We are having good relaxing family time. Yesterday we went to Bahrain for the day and night to do some some shopping and going out to eat. Unfortunately, Aden was a terror after a fitful nights sleep and being cooped up in a car for the morning, this lasted pretty much until dinner, with a short break while we were playing at the hotel pool. The morning started with Aden running into a glass door to the no smoking section of Ric's Country Kitchen where we had breakfast. After we opened the door for him to walk through we had to carry him across the doorway because he didn't want to chance running into another invisible forcefield. Aden also successful convinced the other couple in the non-smiking section to relocate before their food arrived. We were a little embarrassed. During dinner at Fudruckers, Aden was pretty good and stopped crying when the world's best hotdog came out for him. All beef and wonderful! You should try one.
This upcoming weekend it is boy's night in, as Tara shoots off to Dubai for a conference where she is going to attend math teaching work shops. She is very excited . . . I don't quite get it though, but that's alright.
Ok, for the announcement!

What a cute girl and proud big brother!
Her picture at 15.5 weeks
I thought everyone would like this picture. Aden helping Mommy brush her hair this morning. Aden would give my hair one quick brush and then run back to Mommy's to do nice long comes down her nice long hair.
So excited for you three! Sorry I missed Jamie, but it sounds like we'll see Tara a lot at NESA.
