* YES!!!!!!! On Monday I had my VERY FIRST DECAF TEA of pregnancy #2!!!! It was all hot water with lemon before that, but I am pleased to add a little pizazz to my current selection of hot drinks. Finding out Nesquick is 99% caffeine free was also quite thrilling.....
* Emily visited us from Wawa this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and Mama Cairo (Barb!) came to join the fun on Monday too! It was so nice to show them our new house and to catch up. I hadn't seen Emily for over a month (which is REALLY, REALLY LONG for us) and we hadn't seen Barb since last May when she came to Kuwait. Thank you for coming to see us you two! We're hoping that Barb returns to Kuwait this year......AS A WORKING TEACHER! Fingers crossed!!!
* We finally got to meet Baby Fionn at the lake yesterday! He is as cute as a button and, if we're lucky, we will get to go on a boat ride with him this afternoon! He gave Nory a funky little puppet named "Olivia", which Nory greeted with a big "Ohhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
* We go back to Kuwait three weeks from today. I had a little cry about it after our guests left yesterday. Something about saying goodbye to them made me think about saying goodbyes in August and I got quite upset about it. I suppose there's nothing more to do other than to enjoy the time we have remaining! Sigh.
* The house is looking more and more like a home. Phil's parents bought us a pull-out couch for the front room (thank you Mom and Dad P!) and we've put up the artwork we purchased in Sri Lanka. The family room has been rearranged to look much bigger which gives Nory more space to play (WIN!). As for the outside, Phil has been hard at work in the gardens and they are looking much more groomed :) I have been meaning to take pictures of these things but that's yet to happen. Stay tuned!
* I have 4000 pictures on my iPhone. FOUR THOUSAND! Perhaps I should transfer them onto my computer now. If Phil finds out, he just might go into cardiac arrest.
* There's a lady in Kuwait who is starting her own line of nail polish and Emily entered a contest to win the entire collection (to be released September 2014). Well, wouldn't you know it, while we were sitting at Tim Horton's yesterday morning (which was packed with several groups of senior citizens), Emily started to scream and giggle, declaring that she had WON THE CONTEST!!!!!! I'm pretty sure the other patrons thought she had won the lottery but, to her, she kinda did. More nail polish to add to her......museum.....of nail polish.........WAY TO GO, GEM! xo
* This coming Sunday we are having a "Sibling Reunion" at the lake. It has been YEARS (perhaps even over a decade) since all five of us have been together in one place and I'm just hoping and praying that all goes according to plan!
* Our current mobile number used to be the mobile number of a guy named "Joe" and Joe's friends keep calling and texting and it's driving me nuts! That, and the random phone calls from 10:30 at night from Florida. It's yet to be determined if the Florida people are also after Joe. #firstworldproblems #iwillstopcomplainingnow
* Phil just came home with Season 2 of Scandal. Eeeeee!!!! We've been on the waiting list and it is OUR TURN ONCE AGAIN! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I guess I can't fall asleep on the couch anymore...)
