Happy Birthday and graduation

Happy Birthday Sydney!

 Syd had her first birthday here in Saudi... She turned 15 years old. Tim and I thought it would be a fun party to have friends over and go to the pool. Tim even chimed in that we would bring cake and ice cream:) Syd was embarrassed by the thought and said she had it under control.

 I am pretty sure that Syd knows how to have fun. I was told to buy the pizza and paint. They had a blast!

 Congratulation Sydney.... Graduation here in Aramco is a big deal when you are in 9th grade. Many of the students head off to boarding schools in the summer. It was good bye for many of the kids that have been here for a long time. Syd will be attending the nearby high school. Out of 150 students in her grade 58 are staying. She is excited and so are we!
