Hi All,

Christine and I just returned from a weekend trip to Muscat, Oman of which I will blog about later. However I need to get caught up on the happenings of the past 2 weeks since her arrival.

The first week was a whirlwind of sleep deprivation as Christine got her body clock in line with the local time. She had a particularly hard time this time for some reason . We both surmise it was stress induced as unlike the past, it was a "vacation" but this time there is no return ticket.

The stress was allieved on Friday the 24th when the party went on beautifully. The original invitations had the party from 6 - 8p for snack and drinks. All the guests brought a snack or a bottle of wine and some brought flowers. I quickly applied a post it note on the wall clock that read "Clock Broken - Party On". The last guests departed at midnight.

Love to all,

Scott and Christine
