Merry Christmas Y’all! That’s right – we’ve done what we can to spread some Christmas spirit around Kuwait. Well, we spread it all over the house but that’s a start. We love this time of year. Anita has made enough cookie dough to feed an army of elves. I have Christmas carols playing on any […]
Year: 2014
Thanksgiving in Kuwait – Gobble Gobble!
I gotta tell ya – I love Thanksgiving! Reminders of everything that is good in your life and all the reasons you have to be thankful, turkey bird, good friends, family – what’s not to love? This year we just had a really small dinner – just the Coopers and us. I smoked a turkey […]
Birthday Bowling & Lo Mein!
Well as we mentioned earlier the party part of Sydney’s birthday had to be pushed back as Anita wasn’t feeling 100%. So after a week rain delay we were back to birthday central! Sydney wanted P.F. Chang’s for lunch so our first stop was to the Chang. We hadn’t been for a very long time […]
Donut Cake, LEGO Cake, & Presents Everywhere!
So its that time of year again. Despite our best efforts to tell her to stop Sydney just keeps racking up those birthdays! This year we just had a small little party at home – Sydney calling the shots for dinner, opening presents, donut cake, and other assorted birthday fun. Anita was a little under […]
The Fall Colors Are Out!
This time of year is always a bit busy. Halloween, Aunt Sissy’s birthday, Sydney’s Birthday, Thanksgiving, class parties, birthday parties, lots and lots and lots of stuff. Fun stuff, just lots of it. We love decking out the halls for each of the holidays so as soon as we started packing up Halloween all of […]
Godwin’s Hollow on Flickr
So for the few of you that stop by from time to time and haven’t noticed our little LEGO city – Godwin’s Hollow – it exists. Much to the chagrin of Anita it actually takes up a sizable chunk of upstairs. Anyways, Sydney and I enjoy adding to it as often as we can and […]
In case you’ve not heard…
The mid term election results are – for the most part – in and a bit of faith that I had in my fellow Americans has been restored. I’m not saying that everything is going to be hunky dory from here on out as there are still vast numbers of people out there who want nothing […]
Happy Halloween!
For the first time in what seems like ages Anita and I got dressed up for Halloween and even attended a party! Our friends, Ken & Tina Cooper, went all out this year and a had a little costumed get together last night – it was AWESOME! There were lots of folks and some of […]
Patching Anita’s Tire
Since we had to retire the Death Star Anita has been driving around in something that Kia is trying to pass off as an SUV. Maybe it is for folks below the 38th parallel but for Godwin sized peeps it’s a bit snug. We’ve driven worse in Kuwait but it’s no Death Star. Anyways, after school started […]
Family Fright-day!
Next weekend Anita and I are attending a Halloween party and since it’s on Halloween night we thought that yesterday we should do it up and have some Halloween fun of our own. The TES Halloween Disco was last night too and while Sydney and I were in the kitchen cooking up a storm Anita […]
