Some August Highlights of the Kids 2


Here are some more pics of the kids in August and early September. :)

Amilie on the plane back from vacation in Scandinavia. She has just put on some of mom's lipgloss. :)
Sebastian is making the best of the situation when Amilie is sleeping - playing with her Dora backpack. Here at the airport in Bahrain waiting for dad to get the car. 
Sebastian and Amilie enjoying a ride on Sebastians educational bike.
Amilie dancing with some jewelry she got for her birthday.
Amilie still loves dancing and will often put on her leotard to do some moves.
 She was funny the other day. I was trying to prepare her for the first ballett class in Saudi and let her watch different you-tube videos of kids doing classical ballet. After watching a few she shouted "Mom, come here! Look at this!" She had found a video of a teen ager dancing hip hop. She then stated "THIS is what I would like to do!" 

You cheeky girl! Gotta do some classical ballet first and then we will see, maybe in a couple of... 5-6 years. :)
As you know Amilie tried to be her own hairdresser back in February. After that mom has tried to fix it so it would not look too crazy... Finally the hair was long enough to go to a hairdresser. Amilies first time in a salon.
Always happy after some nice ice cream! :)
Anything he can push around - he will.
He also loves to help out with the cleaning.
The vacuum cleaner is by far his favorite. Can play for hours...
Fun to rock the rocking chair also.
Amilie loves it at the Dilmun club as she is just tall enough for the big pool there.

Sebastian enjoys "swimming" in his seaplane.

Amilie using the arm floaters for the first time.
Sebastian loves to play in the new sandbox and Amilie sometimes joins in.

Happy Birthday John (and Sebastian)

Happy Birthday, Pappa! :)
Amilie made a card and served breakfast.
(this was before we got our bedroom suite, hence food in bed and mess on floor).

 Later in the day we had invited some people over for some food and cake. Thanks for celebrating with us everyone! :)


Waiting for our guests to arrive.
Barbeque chicken and some finger food.
Sebastian got his name on the cake too since we had not yet celebrated him in Saudi. He can't wait to eat the cake, but just have to answer this phone call first.
He sure knows how to draw attention that little charmer, hanging out with the guys! :)
The birthday boys!
Amilie spent most of the time playing with the kids in her room.
Yes, it was a happy birthday! :)

Some August highlights of the kids 1

This play ground is right behind our house so it is nice to go there when it cools of in the evening.
         
Sebastian is lucky to have a good big sister to look after him.
Sebastian loves to play in stairs and ramps like this.
He likes it in the water too, especially if he can play with his truck.
Amilie is more comfortable with water now and will soon have her first swimming lesson.
Sebastian still enjoys a ride in his seaplane.
The pools on camp are the best hang out place in August.
Good friends they are. :)
Sebastian won't stand still for long - he likes to explore the world! Amilie got a camera this summer (a free gift with a purchase) so she is already developing her photography skills.
When the sun sets it is time to go home.
The kids always sleep well after some swimming. Nice smile, Amilie,
... and Sebastian, you charmer!
