Okay since our last posting, life has just been about living. André was due to head of for a day or two to Yanbu on business again but the technician that would have stayed on, did a runner while on vacation and so André was forced to spend two weeks in Yanbu.
Needless to say the girls and I survived, school keeps us rather busy hehehe. And hence the title, life is about living, nothing exciting going on, just the day to day cycle of wake-up, off to work, come home, homework, bed and it begins again.
Guess the biggest family news happened during & after I chaperoned at our Middle School Valentines dance. Decision time - these girls are never going to a dance, hold me to it ! My goodness teenagers are scary creatures !
André is now home and we had a relaxed weekend at home together. Of course at this stage its mostly about rugby :) Sharks doing reasonably well, hopefully they're just warming up too :)
To all our February birthdays... Ethan, Hanna, Brett, Kim, Gran, Maxi, happy happy, thinking/thought of you on your special day.
'Til you pass this way again, love, laughter, happiness and friendship,
Tracy, André, Aimee and Lucy
P.S. Go the Sharks !!!!

this past week...
The week was pretty uneventful. School and work, up in the morning, out the door, home at night, and repeat !
Wednesday however was International Day at school. First thing in the morning, we all dressed up in clothing from/representing our home country, carried flags we'd made and had a parade at school. Throughout the day, students then got to "visit" the many countries represented at our school by visiting displays our wonderful PTG had put together.
Back to school in the evening for dance, music and food from around our world !
Up earlyish on Thursday morning, we headed for Doha to visit Larry and because André had been appointed to ref a Ladies Rugby Tournament Thursday/Friday. Decent drive, we took it slow because of the wet weather, arrived around 3pm. Off to the rugby where the girls had an absolute ball getting thoroughly soaked and muddy.
Back again Friday mid-morning where we got to get a few signatures from some visiting rugby greats. They have been travelling around the gulf doing some coaching and special appearances.

André being the ref appointed to the tournament got everyone organised, and then the games were on again.
"look at my nice clean clothes !"
(Lucy was pretty pooped and miserable by this stage and was fast asleep minutes after climbing in the car.)
The day was long but absolutely fabulous. We left just before 5pm and thankfully didn't make the detour through Hofuf this time, arrived home just before 9pm. All in all, a good ending to a pretty non-eventful week.
