We're Back!

Sorry it has been soooooo long since the last post!  We are now back in Saudi Arabia for the 3rd year, this time with a new addition...

Cora Ruth!


Cora was born July 17th, 6 lbs 6oz, in Wisconsin.  She was a full week late, which means I am still on maternity leave for another week!  Amazingly we got her birth certificate, passport, and Saudi visa in 3 weeks and were able to come back all together.

Here are some of Cora's passport photo options:





Jack and Cora were great on the plane ride - they both slept much of the time.  We are now working on getting over our jet lag and adjusting to the new time zone.  It's been super hot (of course) so we have been going for night swims in the warm pool, which Jack thinks is hilarious.

Teachers start on Saturday (except me) and students on Sept 1, so we will be in a routine soon enough.  So far we have stocked the fridge with groceries, put away the clothes we brought, and orders shwarmas and hummous.  We've been busy with visitors coming over to meet Cora, also!

Here are a few summer shots...more to come!

  1. Love seeing Jack. I like that he has so many soft helpers to assist him in babysitting.
