Wow! It's been a really busy week! As we've gotten many emails that say "Did you get my email?" "Are you alive?"...that's a pretty good indicator of how life went this week here! Also, we've had some Google issues and that impacts our emailing and blogging capabilities. So, NO...we haven't gotten all of your emails! If you didn't get an answer, please re-send it! Enough of that boring stuff! The girls had a great week at school and stayed busy with their normal after school activities of dance, gymnastics 
and horseback riding. Ashlyn is still taking pony rides during Kaleigh's riding lessons, so that is a big thrill for her each week. Ashlyn and Lisa walk around the stables and visit (and feed) the horses while Kaleigh goes off on her long rides since we can't really follow her. Ashlyn's class at school resumed their swimming, so Lisa was there that day as a parent helper to play in the pool and help get the kids back into their uniforms! Loads of fun! Kaleigh and Ashlyn also had a playdate this week
with some of their very good friends that you'll see in the picture below...although in the pic they are completing vegging out! Nadia (Grade 1) and Natalie (in Ashlyn's class) are from New York and live in our neighborhood. Dwayne returned from his weekly travels (this time he was in Qatar) on Thursday morning. We spent much of this weekend playing at the pool and doing a little shopping...so just some relaxing times as a family. With only two days in Dubai, we try not to overschedule too much on the weekends, but it is very hard when there's always so much to see and do! Dwayne heads out to Albuquerque, New Mexico in the morning (Sunday) for the Meridium Conference, where he also has a great opportunity to be a presenter. So, from one desert to another! He'll be there until next Saturday, where he'll start the long journey back to Dubai.
