Noah for Halloween



We don't really celebrate Halloween here. But we thought it would be fun to play dress up with Noah and all the outfits he has. So if we did celebrate Halloween here Noah could be....


A Bahraini Soccer Player


or..
A Chinese Man


or...
A Saudi Arab
(or an angel in the Christmas pagent depending on how familiar you are with Arab style thobes....)

What's y'alls vote?

Quote That I Found Interesting

I just read this so I felt a need to share it. Being is that this is a family blog and is usually filled with pictures of Noah and how we are trying to live in another culture I will refrain from blasting you with my commentary on this, so just read it and imagine..... :)

"Today Islam claims more than 1/5 of the world's population and by 2025, some statisticians predict one out of every three people in the world will be Muslim."

Pneukuntree Baybiotitus

B and I went to the doctor yesterday and apparently we have picked up from the Courtneys a disease called Pneukuntree Baybiotitus (Nu Kun Tree Bay Beo Titus) It is a rare disease found in young couples who move around from country to country alot.

Basically, you can tell if you have this disease if you find yourself pregnant shortly after you move to a new country.........

For those of you with mouths open, I will say it again so it will sink in quicker.

B and I (mainly B) are pregnant again!

In our quest to over populate the world and expand the Bullion Nation, we are pregnant. I' m not sure why it always happens within two months of moving to a new country though. Hopefully this cycle doesn't continue the rest of our lives. That could prove to be overwhelming!

But yes, Noah is having a little brother or sister. And we are very happy, so celebrate with us. Go out to eat and go ahead and order that dessert or that extra something. Don't worry! It's for the baby!! Go out and buy that shirt/book/CD/DVD/whatever that you've been wanting, its a celebration!

For those of you that need answers here are some basic things you may be asking:

How far along?
8 weeks

How is B feeling?
It's the first trimester, so morning sickness is here to stay for another month or so.

When is the baby due?
First of June, Noah will be almost two

Was it planned?
No, are you kidding me? TWO in diapers????? We aren't cr.....well, ..No, it wasn't planned.

Do you want a boy or a girl?
B wants a girl. I am a bit nervous about a girl, but I mean, I am happy with whatever.

Will the baby be born there or in the States?
We are having the baby here. The health care here is great and we love our doctor. She is wonderful.

Sons are a heritage from the
Lord, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. Psalms 127
