Back to routine (mostly)

It has been a long time since the last update. The weeks have flown since we got back from our trip home - even though it has been summer and supposedly the "quiet" time in Doha, somehow we managed to stay very busy.

Last week Johnathan went back to school (Year One now!) and this week Susannah started up again at nursery (see the pictures below, she is settling in well). The only thing left before the full normal routine kicks in is for Ramadan to finish at the end of next week. Then we anticipate the traffic picking up and everything being back to normal (well, as normal as it can be in Doha!)

Exciting news from this week is that Johnathan has mastered riding his bike without training wheels. He is incredibly proud of and excited by this development. Now we can mix it with the bigger kids in the compound! Next blog entry will hopefully have some photos of this, and maybe even a video!

We are looking forward to a trip to London during the first Eid break (starting at the end of Ramadan) with the primary goal of catching up with Jobey and Jho prior to their wedding back in Australia and also giving us the chance to catch up with some other friends and having fun with the kids in the big city.
