Saudi Life Lately

May has been an extremely busy month for us, but we have enjoyed lots of time and wonderful moments together.  We've spent quite a lot of time outside in the backyard enjoying the slide, water table, and just having fun!  A few weekends ago, we pulled out the water table for Savannah to play with.  When I went inside to get some more water, I came back outside to discover a surprise......



Someone has figured out how to climb INTO her water table!  After seeing this, we decided it might be a good time to pull out the little blow up pool and let her play in that too.  LOL!  She had a great time.

Savannah has also started LOVING bubbles!!!  We've had lots of fun watching her chase them down.



One of the many perks of living here is being able to walk outside the back door and go straight to the beach!  Savannah absolutely LOVES the beach and playing in the water!!!  It's to the point that she often tries to take off for the beach while we are on our nightly walks.  :)

This is so much fun!!
Have I mentioned that it's getting HOT here really early this year!!!  This was the weather last Thursday.... and no it's not a dry heat.  We live on the beach so it is actually ridiculously humid!


Aren't you jealous?
For the past two weeks we had the pleasure of keeping our friends, the Sperlings, dog Gizmo.  Savannah LOOOOOVVVEES Gizmo!!!!  He is so good with her, and she has learned how to be gentle when she pets him.  Our little sweet pea grew quite attached to Gizmo during his stay.  She looked for him first thing in the morning and wanted to play with him all day.  Her absolute favorite activity with Gizmo was taking him for a walk!  Every night after dinner, we go for a walk and she really enjoyed our walks while Gizmo was here!  It got to the point that we had to hide the leash because she wanted to walk him four or five times a day.  :)  Sweet Gizmo is such a good dog and I think he even enjoyed Savannah too!  :)



Happy girl!


Last Saturday, my friends Cherie, Lindsey and I went down to Khobar for a spa day at the hospital we've all had our babies.  Our mani/pedi sessions were WONDERFUL!!!  Had we known that this spa  was there I have a feeling we would have made many trips!


With the end of school approaching, we are also having to say goodbye to many of our friends who are repatriating back to the US or moving on to other international assignments.  Last Wednesday, we had a large goodbye luncheon for the Chevron ladies that are leaving Saudi.  We had a wonderful time together getting to celebrate special friendships!

In the midst of everything going on, we've also had special moments of snuggles and hugs.  :)




What can I say other than, we are truly blessed!
