Moving to Villa 9


NOTE: I STARTED THIS POST 2 WEEKS AGO!  JUST GOT BACK TO IT TODAY!

Can you hear that?  Me too...silence.  A great sound to a mom- I am up before the kids sipping my coffee and saying hello to an old friend...SixintheSand.  So sorry I have neglected you!  The past two weeks have been a blur!  I successfully moved us in to Villa 9 with a 1 year old on my hip and a husband working hard in the states.  In two days our movers had us in the new villa and not a box was in sight!  They were amazing!  They even helped me watch Lilly...we were all a team!!!  Here is the little monkey the last day of our move....
HELPING THE MOVERS

MOVING OUT DUBAI STYLE...RUGS OUT THE WINDOW
FIRST DINNER AT VILLA 9....YES, ITS WENDY'S.
SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA EAT FAST FOOD!
The new villa is amazing.  It is light and bright and has the best front yard for the kids!  The kids are so happy and Luke has a little boy next door that he spends every afternoon playing with.  Very important for a little dude with three sisters!  This is our family room during the move.....always had to know her location!  As you can see..light and bright!
GIRLS HAVE A NICE BIG ROOM....
For almost 2 weeks Deric was in the states working...and doing a little fishing.  He and his college friends try to get a fishing trip in once a year and I am so glad he got to fit it in to this trip home. It is tradition for them to take this pic with their catch...I would say it was a good trip!

Two weeks was a long time for Deric and the kids to be apart!  They missed him tons!  He decided to get on an earlier flight and surprise them at school.  These pictures say it all!
