First Days of school - September 1, 2009

We have all had our first days now at work and school. Patrick is totally into the swing of things now. Samantha... we are still working on that. The first couple of days have been rough so far, but hopefully things will get better for her. I'm doing fine at work. Starting to get the hang of everyone's name in my class. There are kids from all over in my class (Egypt, Australia, Italy, Netherlands, USA, Canada, UAE, Turkey, and South Korea). It has been neat talking to them. The teacher that I'm working with seems pretty cool.

Wayne is getting back into work. He has been helping out with Samantha (she is done at 12 and with Ramadan there is no Kids Kare for her), so she has daughter/Daddy dates for the afternoon.


We are off to Al Ain this weekend to do the border crossing for our visitors visa. The place we are booked into looks nice, right in the mountains. Wayne says that there is a zoo there that is open at night so hoping to take the kids there. The drive is suppose to be pretty cool too. It is through the desert but the sand changes colour through out. We are getting some tips from our neighbours who have done the cross over three times. It should be fun. Our first venture out of the city.
