I'm Still Here

We've had a busy and rough couple of months with lots of sickness running through the household. I'm pretty sure it's all over now although Tigerpapa was feeling rough last night and almost took the day off of work today.

Spring is definitely here with temperatures reaching 26 degrees this past weekend. It's a much more reasonable 21 degrees today. :)

Tigergirl is doing great at school and still getting advanced math homework. She only did 2 months of first grade in Japan but it was enough to put her way ahead of the rest of her class here. I appreciate that they try to keep her challenged.

Tigerboy is finally starting to read some words and has a real interest in building three dimensional objects with his blocks or pieces of origami paper (buildings, spaceships, airplanes, etc.). He's also started Tae Kwan Do which he loves because he thinks it will help him to become a ninja turtle. I will have to get a picture of him in his very cool uniform.

Spring break is from April 10th to the 20th. We are thinking about taking a trip somewhere like Paris but will have to see about Tigerpapa's time off. Of course, we would much rather have someone come here to visit us during that time so, if you are free, please book your flight now so that I can plan a fabulous itinerary for you! There are many vineyards to tour.

I'm very close to booking our flights home for the summer. We will leave Beirut at the beginning of June and come back at the beginning of September, a lovely long holiday! I can hardly wait.

That's it for now.
