OK - Labor Day is an American holiday, which we celebrated on Sunday (the workweek here is Sunday - Thursday). Today, Sept. 3, is (was) Qatari Independence Day - like our July 4th it is the day Qatar declared independence from England. On Aug. 26th the Qatar Emir (King) ruled that Sept. 3 would no longer be celebrated as a holiday - instead the "National" day will be celebrated on Dec. 18th - when his ancestor assumed the throne of Qatar. Wreaked havoc with business, school and vacation schedules.
I wish I could report that our air freight arrived - but no such luck. Still living with what we brought in our suitcases. Today was Erin's first dance class - unfortunately didn't work out. Teacher was very intense (Russian) - Erin left the class in tears - something she has never done in 4 years of dance lessons. Erin has always had such fun with dance - hate to see that spoiled. Will get on the phone tomorrow to the other places.
Have been to an Embassy pool party and BBQ since the last post. Had a great time! I must get some pictures up soon.
Hope you all had a fun and relaxing Labor Day,
CB

Cindy- So enjoy your blog! Great way to keep us updated. Good luck on the dance class search for Erin... any luck finding girl/boy scouts? Looking forward to your pictures. We'll be checking back! Marcia
Poor Erin! Guess that teacher was serious! It can wait to get serious till the teens... But then again Russians have great ballet. good luck finding a new class.
All we did this weekend was shop till we dropped, watched college football, and ate sushi.
