Leaving on a jet plane...

We have our leave date!  I am very excited to get over to Saudi and see what it is going to be like, and (more importantly) to see Greg.  We are leaving the Houston airport on Thursday, to land in Dubai on Friday, it is a 16 hour flight, but I opted for it, this way I know exactly what I am getting into!  Hopefully Lily will do her normal trick and sleep 11 hours of it, as we are flying at night.  Greg is going to meet us in Dubai, and we are going to spend the night there and then fly on to Bahrain in the morning.  This is only an hour and fifteen minute flight, which will be nothing compared to the day before!  When we land we will drive over the causeway into Saudi Arabia, and hopefully be in our new home soon.  I will try to blog one more time before we leave, and then I don't know when I will have Internet connectivity again, but I will blog as soon as I can to let everyone know how the trip went.  

Happy St. Patrick's Day (a little late)

Lily's Nana (Greg's Mum) came for a nice visit last weekend, we really enjoyed having her here, and she spoilt Lily with lots of attention.  The weather here wasn't as nice as usually is, so we sent a lot of time indoors.  Monday things cleared up, and we went to have pictures of Nana and Lily taken, and then out to lunch.  We went to the Mucky Duck, where we were going to spend St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to show Sharon the little Irish pub.  We had a wonderful lunch, and Sharon had two Irish car bombs with my friend Kendra, I had to drive :)

Lily with her Nana and Grams, she is a lucky girl!

We spent St. Patrick's Day at McGonigel's Mucky Duck in Houston.  They had lots of good Irish music, good Irish beer, some cute Irish dancers, and a lot of fun and people.  We got there early so we could get seats, thankfully, I couldn't imagine doing it without a place to camp out.  Lily was a trooper, she loved to watch the little kids dancing up front.  We were there for 6 hours, and she was good the whole time, she fell asleep hard when we got home though.
