Heating Up

We have been busy these last few weeks. As the weather heats up...so does our life!  Many times I have thought, I need to blog about that, but then another activity springs up and I forget. 
I decided today to get something done before my sister, brother in law and nephew arrive on Sunday.(Which I am very excited about!)

Here are some pictures of what we have been doing.  Our new friends the Millers from Illinois moved here in Feb. for only 4 months.  These last two weeks Kathy wanted to do a lot with her kids so we went along for the ride. :) Here are the 3 boys with Sallie and Robert, just before they all hit the slopes at Ski Dubai.  After that we went to Dubai Mall-the biggest mall in the world, next to the tallest building in the world, with the largest singing fountains in the world..blah blah blah. Anyway, it was fun. :) I have mentioned in a previous blog that Robert likes the Dubai Mall for one reason..Taco Bell. He was happy. 

 We also attended a field trip with the Millers in Sharjah( got lost coming home. driving there is like driving in a black hole.) last week.  The Islamic Civilization museum.  The picture below is Sallie building a mosque with a new friend from Dubai.  All the kids built mosques, not something we ever did in North Dallas.....:)   

And Sallie finished up her watercolor painting class for the semester.  The last picture is her art show day.  My friend Marty Stewart taught several kids this spring and Sallie loved every minute of it. 
Not shown: pictures of our new curtains. Woo hoo! or the night at the Cuban Salsa concert with our friends Chris and Moira. I still would love to move to Cuba. Sigh.  or pictures of our 26th anniversary...yesterday.   
And soon to come? Pictures of  Ryan's prom and graduation! 
By the way, hitting 113 degrees pretty regularly now.  Yep. Texas may feel chilly. :)
