Gabi's version of bringing her bike to the park



She's usually gung-ho to ride her bike to the park, but it usually turns into someone else pushing her or the bike home. Thank God for little brothers.

Oh NO, the sprinklers, RUN!!!

brrrrrr

Homes in Dubai are built to keep the blazing heat out and unfortunately in the winter, this means we are left with a house that is freezing cold. It is only getting as warm as 62 degrees in the house. Outdoors it is probably 65-68 and overcast. (Yes, warmer outside.) We are wearing pullovers and socks all day. We take walks to the park just to stay warm. I guess we can't complain since we left Belgium at 0 degrees. But at least there was a wood burning stove that kept us toasty indoors. In three weeks we'll have a whopping 8 visitors stay with us. Let's hope the temperature will rise a bit and they can have the sunny holiday they paid for. Lucas and Gabi head back to pre-nursery and kindergarten on Sunday, giving me time to prepare for all the visitors.
