Thanks Jeff

Jeff - did you give Neva the Pox????
:)

Neva is doing very well. I was Just been told it was a good case of chicken pox for a breastfed baby. Hmmm perhaps my own immunity is not so hot. Yikes.

Liwa

This is our trip to Liwa with Anna and Brian.

I love this first shot.

Thanks for the idea Hogans!

Neva and Millie

The biggest dune around - 300 m. They have the entire thing fenced off so that you have to pay to drive on it. No walking, only driving.
The scenery
We packed everyone in the car for our picture outing. Quite funny watching the guys crawl through the trunk to get to the back seat. :) Love BB

Stuff

At a friends house with INTERNET. WOO HOO. Ours is coming "soon" so they tell us...


Neva still loves Muzzie

The greeting I get when I enter the room. So heart warming.

This is the house behind ours. These lights stayed up for a week and would flash all night long. Lovely. That's our bbq below. This evening we were having a lovely time sitting outside watching the lights and listening to the Arabic music they were playing at high volume.

Argh

We are still having trouble getting our internet connected. Makes it difficult when there is only one service provider for the entire area and they are not too efficient. Grrr. Our neighbour was nice enough to allow me to use his internet today. Much nicer than trying to post while sitting in a mall. 

Have just figured out that this internet connection won't let me post pictures. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Updates:

- House behind us had a wedding which means they had LOTS of lights on their house (think xmas vacation movie). The lights were on 24/7 for a week. Having our bedroom seem like a dance bar without the music all night long motivated us to finally hang those curtains. 

- Went to a place called Liwa to see the desert and some big Dunes.  Liwa borders Saudi and is at the top of the Empty Quarter.  We spent the weekend with Anna and Brian and their daughter Millie who is only 2 weeks older than Neva. It was a great weekend....

- Then I had to tell them the Neva was contagious with chicken pox over the weekend.  Excellent. Yes, Neva somehow managed to pick up Chicken Pox. The doctor said she was the happiest case he had ever seen. Guess our decision to vaccinate has been made for us. 

All is well.
