Quad biking in the desert!

Over the last weekend (aka Friday) we went out to this spot along the waterfront a little ways out of town to go quad biking. We went in the morning to try and beat the heat, yeah right! By the time we were through it was well into the 90's! It is getting hot here fast. Lily did a really good job keeping her hat on, something we are working on. We went with a few other family's and had an altogether great time! Lily didn't know what to make of it all when Greg took her for a rider until she saw David, then she figured if he liked it then it must be okay! We are so glad that we were able to fit this experience into our time here in Saudi.

Even Oliver got to go for a little ride

Pics from the park

My friend Ina (who takes fantastic pictures) took a few pictures the other day in the park. Here are a few shots that she got of us. I love her photos! I am going to try and get a session in with her to take pictures of Lily and Oliver, and Lily and David (her 'first friend' here).

In other news we are going to try to go quad biking on the sand dunes this weekend, that should be a lot of fun.

The move is starting to take shape, we have had the movers in to give us quotes, and all the information is in for the visas, so now we wait. When the visas are through then we will make our tickets and have the movers come and things will happen very fast. I am trying not to stress out too much yet, but I am trying to be a little organized and set things apart that I want to take to the states, finish my shopping here, finish some projects...

On the baby front, Oliver is growing so fast, he is working very hard on moving, he gets his butt right up in the air and gives a good push. He is so cute, I can't wait to share him with everyone! He is making a lot of baby noises, trying to reach and grab for things, he follows Lily very well and likes to watch her. Lily is doing great, she loves her outside time, I bought her a bubble gun that she thinks is the greatest thing ever, besides her brother who she has to check in on every morning. I am so glad that they love each other so well and can only hope that it stays this way!
