Kivelas' Visit

This is a post I wrote after my parents were here but forgot to put up...

Here are some more highlights from my parents' visit.   One day we went to downtown Khobar to do some souvenir shopping, and stopped at Latif Pastry for its famous cheesebread.  I thought I'd share some of the foods we had while they visited.

Hummus with vegetable garnishes

Arabic Bread with Labnah (sort of like cream cheese) and Honey

Zatar Bread - a mixture of crushed rosemary and sesame seeds
 And of course, we spent lots of time just having grandparent time at home.  This was the best part of their visit :)

Reading with Grandpa

Making grape juice jigglers with Grandma

Fingerpainting a "Welcome Home Daddy" sign

We had a wonderful time with Grandma and Grandpa.  Jack is now eagerly awaiting his birthday party, Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Steve's arrival, time to go to Wisconsin, and time for the baby to come out.  Every day he asks me which of those is going to happen first (his birthday of course!)

 The baby girl is doing crazy acrobatics these days, healthy and growing.  We are currently in the midst of the great name debate!
