Another selection of photos

Grandparents ahoy! We had a lovely visit from Peter and Anna. This is at Downtown Burj Khalifa.

Ranches Golf Club.

Watch out mummy, the incredible hulk is behind you!

Boys bonding.

Awww.

Bastie wonders why Daisy and Zach are SO noisy.

Bastie loves his Daddy.

Lots!

I'm still very behind in my blogging. Time for another photo montage!

Dino Live

This was ummm, can't remember.

Scaredy Zach.

T-Rex! You can just see Andy and Bastie the the right. T-Rex was big.

Mid-hatching.

Velociraptor attack.

Also in late September, we paid a visit to Dino Live. It was really good and these photos don't do it justice. The dinosaurs were very realistic and moved. You could even see them 'breathing'. Some of them were huge and the kids loved it although were a bit freaked out too!

Hitting the beach

Beach time!

Zach, the Burj Al Arab and a random man in his pants.

Daisy, not a shrinking violet.


Hats ahoy.

Splishing around.

Towards the end of the September things had cooled down enough for us for an early morning beach trip. We went to Sunset beach in Umm Sequim. Very nice.

Much ado

There's been birthday parties..

...and paddling pool parties.

First day back at school, Daisy is now a Reception Sea Lion!


Come in close mummy, and take a look at me...

...sitting up on my own, woo!

Timber!

Strike a pose.

Future Reptonian.

We've been up to lots. Here's a few random shots.

Sebastian's first tooth

Let the biting begin.

Blue, with ducks on.

Side to side.

There was much excitement on 8 September when Bastie got his first tooth, top work habibi! We were at Festival City at the time so quickly dashed to Hyper-Panda to buy a toothbrush to celebrate.

Catch up

It was still hot when we got back and the kids quickly got in to pool mode.

And ice-block mode, with Leo.

It was also Ramadan when we arrived. Daisy was thrilled with our visit to the 'shiny, beautiful' Meydan hotel for Iftar. This photo was on the terrace.

Bastie was very happy to get his teeth in to his exersaucer.

Goodbye to winter and goodbye to clothes.

I've fallen very behind in my blogging of late. There don't seem to be enough hours in the day in the real world so the virtual world has been very neglected! On that note, better get uploading photos...

Singapore - again!

A chilled start...

...more kids pile on to the bed...

...then the wild rumpus begins!

I loved the flowery bathroom. And yes, there was a screen to pull down.

We were only intending on staying in the transit hotel in Changi Airport but due to a flight mess up we stayed at the Crowne Plaza at the airport for two nights instead.

Happily this ended up being great as it really broke the journey up, we had a fab room which opened on to the pool and, best of all, Blake, Adrianne, Flynn, Bengy, Ness and Zac came out to see us - hurrah! As an added bonus, it also meant no jet-lag when we got to Dubai.

The kids were great for the whole journey. No problems at all - I even got to watch a couple of movies. Champions.
