18 days to Maldives

I am not much of a web blogger as you can see by these updates :-)

We are so looking forward to going diving there from 15th to 29th! Time for some time out I would say. its been a really long busy year with lots going on.

Church has been busy and we trust God to do something awesome by His Spirit next year.

Work is also hectic - we still haven't completed the Exchange 2007 migration in Qatar, Kuwait or Oman - its quite frustrating at the slow pace of the migration but what can you do?

Toothless Wonder!

Christopher decided in a matter of hours to lose his 2 front teeth - a few days later it was the bottom one!

1 Month Old Already!

Wow it's amazing how quickly time flies. Richard was 1 month old on Friday and has started to smile.
 
He is so good - just so realxed - he went for his first swim in the pool and didn't moan once!
 
Christopher is thoroughly enjoying him which is great. I have updated the photos - enjoy!

Sleeping well...

Hey he is a new born... so sleeping is kind of a random thing. Belinda has been great though she keeps it very quite at night so I can go do the work thing the next day without too much stress.
 
Thank goodness for mom's there is something about that food in the tummy that keeps us all quite and content.

What an awesome holiday!

We had a really stunning time in Austria and Germany. Got back at 2am on 17th and had to come to work 5 hours later. Still wish I was there... so nice to have trees and snow.
 
Oh well - next time... We are planning our move to a stunning new villa. We move at the end of the month.
 
Stand by for photos... we took over 2Gbs and my brother over 4Gb - I cannot fit them all here!

Quick trip to Kuwait

Wow that was interesting...

Kuwait immigration said I had a valid visa so bank there could not apply for one, and when I arrived - nope - invalid - get on the plane out of here!!!

 

Short and sweet round trip. Kind of sucks but good thing about it is that it gives me time to finish building Christopher's Christmas present before we leave tomorrow morning at 3am!

Counting down the days till we go skiing in Obergurgl on 23rd December!!!

Oh yeah baby! We have 3 weeks of skiing, mountains and trees... Belinda is drooling already and the more time I spend thinking about it the more I cannot wait!!!!

So what do the Jackson's do for fun?

We do crazy things like bid on property on Ebay without reading properly and then end up owning 12.5 acres in the US!! Okay I am the guilty one - Belinda just pointed the site out to me... go ahead and laugh... if Belinda tells the story it will have you in hysterics...

Dubai LLT

Belinda, Christopher just got after a delayed flight on 11th from the NCMI Dubai Leadership Training Time.
 
It was really great to touch base with so any Christians - fom South Africa, Qatar and Dubai. We had a thoroughly great time and to top it all off my dad joined us from South Africa and he is currently staying with us in Bahrain for a few days. It was also great to see our friends the Haffners from Bahrain enjoying the LTT!
 
We recieved numerous words of encourgagement from people like Cathy and Neil de la Hunt as well as Dave and Cathy Wallen.
 
We trust that God will use this time of training for great things in Bahrain in future.

Last day today...

Today is my last day at Microsoft in Bahrain. I have loved the eGovernment Strategy Consulting role. It has been such a challenge yet such blessing. I will miss Microsoft - I don't think there is quite another company like it.

GP 2 Final 30th September 2005

WOW!
 
Just totally awesome dude!
 
We watched the GP 2 final after my Microsoft buddy Sanjay's ThunderArabia race. Almost like Formula 1 expect all driving 4L Renault cars with Bridgstone tyres.
 
I have posted some photos of the race but cannot find a way to post the videos. Let me know if you want them to drool over and I will email them to you.

Kuwait 8th to 13th July 2005

I got back from spending the week in Kuwait training a bunch of guys Exchange 2003. It was a pretty impromptu workshop we ended up spending time on ISA 2004 as well because they were quite happy with what I covered for Exchange.
 
Anyway its great to be back except the weather changed in a week. Now its 32 C outside but with the 80% humidity it feels like 42!

Got Back from Egypt 29th June 2005

We got back from a really nice trip to Egypt yesterday. Sharm el Sheikh and diving was great, in fact the snorkelling was almost as good expect the snorklers didn't get to see a turtle. We loved it so much we stayed an extra day in Sharm and then spent 2 days in Cairo. For us 2 days was more than enough! Too many people asking for baksheesh for the most arbitary tasks! It drove us a little nuts.
 
Its great to be home! We will be uploading our photos later this week.
 
Brent, Belinda and Christopher
