In just one year, our love for you grew, to one for all time, that none could undo. From Dad
What a significant word, a word which I despise so much. I try not to think about it, whether it is noise pollution (which is the one that annoys me the most) or the smog, not to forget the garbage, etc...and the list goes on!
Michael's sister dropped by for a few days. So we decided to play tourists. My advice to the visitors of the U.A.E.is if you are here on a short visit, here are some of the places you should see...The Burj and the majestic Burj Al Arab of course, the Sharjah aquarium, AlBastakiya with its galleries and don't forget its spice shop, the Gold Souk, the Karama souk, there are so many malls, it is hard to pick one but my favourite has to be the Emirates Mall. If you are a seafood fan, you should visit a fish market and experience the hustle and bustle of the local fishermen. I just love it.
Skye just loves to go to the meetings. She enjoys playing with other kids. To be honest, I also believe it does me good as well. She received her 1st valentine's heart this week! We also go to a music group which is quite fun. We just dance and sing. It makes you feel like a kid again. I wonder who enjoys it more, the kids or the adults! Hahaha
I guess we take our health for granted...Well, never again! This has been the worst 2 weeks. All 3 of us got sick and not with a simple cold but a crippling fever that gets you shaking and shivering all night with sweat. Michael was unable to go to work for a whole week. Poor Skye still cannot breath properly but her fever is down and under control. I am telling you what a week! I am still shaking and sweating at night fighting the fever. We are on antibiotics. I am sure we will get there.
Looking like giant leaves floating in the sea, thousands of Golden Rays are seen here gathering off the coast of Mexico. The spectacular scene was captured as the magnificent creatures made one of their biannual mass migrations to more agreeable waters.

'It's hard to say exactly how many there were, but in the range of a few thousand'

They have long, pointed pectoral fins that separate into two lobes in front of their high-domed heads and give them a cow-like appearance. Despite having poisonous stingers, they are known to be shy and non-threatening when in large schools.
The population in the Gulf of Mexico migrates, in schools of as many as 10,000, clockwise from western Florida to the Yucatan.
The crowd gathered up over the weekend, restless to watch the championship. The conditions were just perfect. The teams travelled from all over the world with their fancy high tech boats, ready for the challenge. You can even hear their engines reving up across the land! Fantastic...I wish my brother can see this, i am sure he would have loved it.







Hello, we hope everything is peachy and lovely with you. We hope that 2008 has treated you as well as it did with us. So many life changing events happened this year. We hope that you are not so badly affected by the economy fall and we hope that you are in good health with good warm company this holiday.

Skye is such an adorable baby. I find it strange that some people actually stop me on the street just to peek-a-boo her and tell me she's so cute.
It is so easy to meet other mothers when you have a baby. The mother and baby group is so much fun. We are invited to a birthday, our first party...Should be interesting, never thought that would be exciting.
Skye is hilarious, her toothless grin makes you want to burst out laughing. Actually, she is teething these days and quite in pain, poor baby.
She is such a healthy eater, she would swallow anything you put in her way: creamy fish, braised beef, chicken casserole, lentils savoury, etc....
I enjoy cooking for her and watching her reaction. She is also learning to master the art of finger food eating, or shuld I say gobbling, sometimes she spreads it all over the kitchen which looks like a hurricane zone.
...She just loves her strawberries...
She enjoys helping her mum with the laundry.
I am glad we are all settled now. We have our own routine and everything is in place. She knows her room, her parents, we know her habits, her likes and dislikes. We understand each other. So far so good! It is a shame for an expat though, to raise a child away from the family, her grandparents, uncle and aunts must miss her terribly! It would be great to meet quite often.
We are getting ready for our first Christmas...My favourite time of year. We have a few decorative projects on the way. Will keep you posted for sure.

Skye is great. She screams a lot because she realised that she can actually control her vocal cords so it is an opera house here. If you ever visit us just make sure you bring ear plugs! She is still growing and getting taller by the minute! She wears 6 months to one year sizes. She giggles a lot these days and rarely cries. She still cries at bath time, I guess it is part of her development and eventually she will grow to like bath time. She is also curious about everything which makes feeding time a challenge because everything is a distraction!
