Cody & Devin 6:15 a.m. before school
Picture of Sling Shot
Just wanted to let you all know that our phone service is still down. The Computer engineer was here two days ago and diagnosed the Vonage box as the problem. However, when J was on the line with Vonage they said that the problem could be the server. Vonage has emailed some instructions to again troubleshoot the problem. I'll take a deep breath and hope that J can figure this out.
It's amazing how much homework Cody has. After a long day of school he comes home has a snack and works on his homework for an hour and a half or longer. He's a good sport. I guess it's just me being a little selfish of his time.
When we were in Kingwood Devin would go to sleep around 10:30pm and wake up around 4am for a feeding. Now that we're in Bahrain he is in bed by 7:30 and wakes up twice for about 15 min. I guess I'm wearing him out during the day. He looks forward to going downstairs. We wait for Cody and visit with the Receptionist. They love and can't get enough of him. Devin is a big flirt. Once he sees Cody he forgets about us all. He truly is Cody's number 1 fan.
We've gone back and forth about leasing or buying a vehicle. Chevron offers a good package on purchasing a vehicle. So as of today we have decided to purchase a vehicle. The prices are comparable to the states. The parking here in Bahrain is structured for compact vehicles. Over the weekend we meet with Keith Fernandes (fleet sales consultant). We haven't decided on the type of vehicle but will have to make a decision within the next week or so. The drivers here in Bahrain are very aggressive. Bahrain doesn't have that many stop lights but they have what Jeremy and Cody call sling shots. The best way to describe this is a 4 way circular yield. Trust me you better not miss your turn. Otherwise, they will start honking. The stop lights go from red, to yellow and than green. When it turns yellow your vehicle better be moving. Driving here in Bahrain does not bother me I actually fit in. LOL.
I think both you and Jeremy will have no trouble driving there - if you can handle the traffic in Houston you can handle that!
ReplyDeleteGive the boys a big hug and kiss for us,
Love, Grammy & PaPaw
Will do regarding boys. You definately have to be defensive and on your toes at all times while on the road. Jeremy
ReplyDeleteThis picture reminds me of the expression Cody and Devin had on their face(suprised) when they were here Thanksgiving and Grammy said she was going to fix breakfast. PaPaw
