All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go....Yet.


Traveling to and living in different countries with our children is something Andy and I have wanted to do since the boys were born. As a family we've lived in New Zealand and Canada....next stop Doha, Qatar. The boys are excited about our move to the Middle East. Will is going into Grade 1 and is most exited about trying new foods and Ben is excited about starting Kindergarten and having popsicles every day! 

We are supposed to be there already (two weeks ago, actually), but we are still waiting in Canada. The delays in the immigration office were due to Ramadan and Eid holiday closures; we are fully aware that this is just a preview of more waiting in our future! Three of the our four visas have been approved for some time now, but apparently Will’s visa wasn’t done at the same time. After finally getting word that he had a visa a few days ago, we expected plane tickets to follow the next day. Alas, no tickets and it’s the weekend again in Doha. School starts in a few days but we won’t be there for the first day, but hopefully it won't be too long before we're on a plane. Inshallah!

Our ten suitcases are packed and we're ready for our adventure!
