Live, Love, Laugh

 Last summer I brought back many vinyl sayings to put on our walls.  One that Nicole chose was Live, Love, Laugh.  Three things we should all do.

 Nicole has grown up so much over the past year.  Sometimes too much.  She is a beautiful young woman with so many talents.  Can't believe she is only 12.  Occasionally she likes to dress up with makeup and all to take pictures.  She doesn't look like a little girl here.

 Jonny turned 16 on September 4th.  His BFF Franco turned 16 a few days prior so they celebrated together.  I attempted to decorate a cake but my skills have diminished very rapidly over the past years. It may also have to do with that I just didn't have time to make homemade frosting and tried to decorate with the store bought kind.  Didn't quite work.  Oh well.  It still tasted good.
 For Jonny's birthday he took his friends to Bahrain to an amazing go kart track.  It's like a mini race car track.  They even had these cool jump suits for them to wear.


 Jonny, Alex, Matthew, and Franco.  The gang from An Nassim.


 They drove over around 4:00 to get to the track by 6:00 but it took a while to cross the causeway so they had to go back after 9:00.  So they went to dinner and then spent an hour being race car drivers.  They had an awesome time.



 Vika finally lost her first tooth back a few months ago.

 We've been here for a year now and finally feel like this is a home.  We've painted and decorated quite a bit.  I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the results.  Always feels good to have a nice place to call home with things that are yours.








 These are two of my favorite walls.
