A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Getting over the jet lag

Well, I'm back. I had to post this snap of the family tree farm. Yup, I miss the smell and sound of trees already. I took this shot as a big thunderstorm was beginning to roll in.

I was reading some newspapers online today and ran across this article:

Very interesting stuff.

While the kids and I were in the home country, the husband bought a Wii game system when he got back here to the sand. And boy, have the kids had fun with the thing. We've got rules with it (Mum reserves the right to sell the thing if it becomes too distracting to daily life), and the rules seem to manage to control potential problems. The husband just said it is humbling to have his young daughter continually beat him at boxing on the Wii.

A bit of bummer news on our aquarium: the crab with no claws that we 'rescued' had a molt while we were in the home country. The husband came home to find him with two new little claws. But, within the past few days, it looked like he (the crab that is) was going to molt again. The little crab quit moving and never moved again. We're not sure what happened. At least we gave the little guy a fighting chance.

It is good to be home and all together again as a family.
