Summer 2008 -- First Trip

Once back in Texas, the first trip we made was out to Grandma and Pop's ranch. Lots of stuff to see and do out there. There are dogs, cats, deer, goats, guinea hens, chickens, a donkey and a rooster.


There was a birthday party/ hoe-down that we all had a great time at...


The girls had a great time with the tire swing...


We got to see the deer and rode around in the ranger...


And the girls liked hanging out with Pecker Head..(hey, I didn't name him.)

It's Overwhelming....

I know I need to blog....but I truly am overwhelmed with the thought of it. Where do I begin? So much has happened over the summer...so many pictures to load up. But I guess you have to start somewhere. So here goes....

We made it back to Doha safely. We are finally back on the Doha time zone. It takes about a week to adjust. The girls actually adjusted quicker than me and Mr. D.

The girls are happy to be back "home". They had no recollection of their Texas home this year. That was surprising to me and a hurdle we had to deal with. For the first few weeks, tears were shed every time we pulled into the garage. "I don't want to go to this home," they said. That makes me sad. We love our Texas home. I guess all their play stuff is in Doha though so they love the Doha home more.

Okay, that's all I've got for now. I promise to try and update over the next few days and post pictures and stories from this summer.
