Pictured are the 4 amigos that basically run the Fortress Compound..Jack, Charlie, Lliam, and Ryan with Sam and Cairo.
We attended the annual pancake breakfast with Santa at the kids school last Saturday. As I look at this photo I am stunned at how much they have all grown up since the Santa photo last year. They are ignoring my demands to "freeze...stop growing!" I may have put bricks on their heads this year..would that help?
With the Eid holiday (Muslim holiday for the annual Haj) falling so close to Christmas this year, the kids have only two days of school left in 2007. Where did the time go. They will go to school Sunday and Monday next week then be off until January 6th. There is still time to book your flights to AD to visit while we have this break!
Grandma and Grandpa Cook are going to be spending Christmas with us so we are very excited about that. More later..Lots of love and Happy Holidays from the mild climate of 75 degrees here in Abu Dhabi.
