Changing

In preparation for our upcoming visit to Houston, I thought it would be good to write about how the kids have changed since we moved.  The obvious is that they've all grown, but then there are some new things that aren't so obvious.

Boston
1.  learned to read
2.  learned to tie his shoes
3.  learned to ride his bike without training wheels
4.  learning French
5.  learning Arabic

Olivia
1.  learned to read
2.  very close to tying her shoes
3.  learned to ride her bike without training wheels
4.  learning French
5.  learning Arabic

Sophia
1.  talking more than when we left Houston (interesting conversations with this one)
2.  learned that she is a funny little girl
3.  learned some letters and some counting
4.  learned about time out!
5.  tries to sing the Arabic number song with Boston

Being in Dubai is still sad at times for the kids.  They really miss Allie, our dog.  Allie is a prayer request every single night.  However, they all enjoy their schools, teachers, and friends.  They also love going to the park, swimming, going to the beach, going on a bike ride, and driving their Power Wheels Jeep around the house.  So there is the update for when we come home. 

P.S.  Emily and Wiebe, you'll be able to talk to Boston and Olivia in French and hopefully teach them some more.
