Happy Halloween!

Last night we hosted a Halloween party in our compound for 111 kids. Ghosts, ghouls, vampires, witches, and a few spidermen & princesses came to join in the fun. Check out the photos!

Camping at Zekreet

During the Eid holidays 20 of us camped out under the stars at Zekreet. Fun times!

STAR OF THE WEEK

My arms are tired from doing the Mexican wave at Isabelle's school assembly today!

Here she is... Star of the Week!

Her teacher told us how well she is doing in maths. She corrects her teacher all the time. For example, when Mrs Patterson drew a clothesline and 3 socks hanging from it on the board, Isabelle shot her arm up and said, "Mrs Patterson, you can't have 3 socks, because you only have 2 legs. You need another one for 2 pairs." True story.

Last day in Perth... sunny day in Kings Park

Gotta have one last babycino! Can't get those in Qatar...

Gimme that hat! Got it!

I'll miss you Grandma & Grandpa.

Who turns up, but Fat Cat! How cool is that!

Bye Perth! See you next year!

Start of September, and sadly, the end of our trip...

We spent the beginning of September celebrating Rod's 60th. The whole clan was together for the last time (for a while) since Rob & Gem are on their way to London to live.

Isabelle sharing lunchtime with cousin Eleanor.Happy 60th Rod! Dinner at Julio's.Whoa! That's a big one!The White siblings. Nice one!

We took some family photos at Pickering Brook... it sure is tricky getting eleven people to look at the camera at the exact same time!

Did I tell you I finally got a honeymoon?

So, after 6 and a bit years of marriage, Brendan finally whisked me away on a honeymoon! We spent three nights at Empire Retreat, Yallingup. This is how happy I was!

My best friend Rafferty visits!

One of the major highlights of our trip to Perth was that Isabelle's first Bestest Friend (& family) came to visit from Adelaide. We had been counting down to this for ages!

We spent the days making up for lost time. Here are photos of the kids reconnecting...

"Remember you said you'd marry me?"

Scrub-a-dub! It's bathtime!

The brand new member of the family who we met for the first time! Ruby!

The fun continued for us in August! Here are just a few photos of the highlights!
