Well we spent this weekend on the ARC again because its the place that we feel most safe. After about 4 hours we got so bored we decided to wash the Purchasing car. Which was getting really disgusting!
Then I vacuumed the very so shinny car
In the evening we went home and then ate Pizza with friends!
It was a happy occasion and Samir finally announced that he was expecting

In times of loud bangs, one can’t help but feel one’s heart race, breathing quicken, head swirl, and body heat rise. Being preggerz and just 2 months away from d-day, I have to take extra special care not to let these nerves overwhelm me, although this weekend they have been pushed to the limits. Here are a few of my favourite things to get the mind preoccupied and taken to a better place:
- playing endless UNO games
- sitting in the living room when things are quiet and feeling the cool breeze
- crunching ice
- passing time in the company of humorous friends
- daydreaming about the day I hold baby in my arms
- planning and looking forward to our next holiday trip, haha
- watching comedies and love stories
- communicating with family, who I looove and miss
- and of course praying

Just wanted to let our fam bam and friends know abroad that Saba, baby & I are keeping safe here in Haifa. We are following closely safety guidance and so far everything is going ok. Just have to remind ourselves to remain calm at all times. In the meantime thank you for all the emails and prayers. Alofa tele, S & S & b.

Yesterday my office came together for a baby shower organized by the Myers–thank you so much Pat and Don! Saba took the prize for pin the diaper on the baby blindfolded, was almost spot on! We know who’s changing the diapers in this family. Muts made a cute and deliiiiiish cake, thank you joon! Everyone made all 3 of us feel so special and loved. Thank you for the laughter and memories. And life goes on…

Well we had an interesting night last night. The Hezbollah caught Haifa off guard, as they really didn’t expect that Hezbollah had the missiles capable of reaching Haifa. As it was we had two hits last night. Hopefully that was it, but I doubt that. I am sure they have many more ready and able aimed in our direction. Of course Katyusha Rockets are really just big fourth July Sky Rockets, very inaccurate and really only deadly when one lands directly on you. They can blow a dish-sized hole in the side of an apartment and blowout the windows. One lady in Nahariya (20km north of us) yesterday morning was having coffee on her balcony enjoying the morning sun when one of these things basically came thru the apartment above and landed in her lap. (not a pretty picture)
Last night two Katyusha rockets hit the side walk in Haifa, about 800 metres from our house, just below the Baha’i Temple site and just above the lower Cave of Elijah. The two rockets came over together boom, boom, only a second apart. They hit the street and the sidewalk and the side of the mountain (no injuries or damages to personal property). Sieni and I saw a small amount of smoke spiraling up. Right after they hit. Immediately everybody was cell phoning and the cell phone network got jammed, and people headed for bomb shelters.
Fun Fun Fun!.
It looks like Israel is kicking some Hezbollah butt, I feel sorry for the poor Lebanese who don’t like the Shia Hezbollah any more than the Israelis do. Unfortunately for them they have them in their government and running the southern border with Israel.
Hopefully Syria and Iran will stay out of it, but I have feeling this will escalate and Israel will have to bring out its big guns.
We will keep you up dated, as things pan out.
We are relatively safe here, we have a well-stocked and very strong bomb shelter and unless one of these missiles drops into our lap we will be OK, so don’t worry we will Duck’n’Dive and Bob’n’Weave.
