Life in these United Emirates

(Yes, I have been reading Readers' Digest lately.)

There's not much going on here. Randy has long since returned from his sister's wedding in Virginia. School is school; open house and parent conferences are over but the end of the first quarter is looming.

Anastasia is growing. A waitress asked today if she knew how to walk or if she could only run. She's got a very distinct style of dancing. Her speech is still primarily "this", "dad", "mom" with a lot of squeals and growls in between. She loves the movies Randy brought back from the US. Her favorite: Jungle Book, especially the elephant marching song.

We're already looking forward to the holidays. Second Eid/National Day will be spent in Singapore and KL. My Aunt Kathy and cousin Ri will be here for a week mid-December. And then we're back on holiday for Christmas. The current plan is Turkey and Cyprus.

A few pictures from a day in the life of Anastasia...

Dancing to Jungle Book (I'm quite impressed with her style and intensity)


Randy and I finally decided to see what was up at Sparky's, a kids play arcade in our neighborhood mall. Misrak takes her there pretty regularly so several of the attendants referred to her by name. This place has a bowling alley, miniature ice rink, rollercoaster, 3D theatre, you name it- it's probably there!
