On January 12, 2007, we left this. (The snow and winter, not the baby of course)
For this.
If you can’t see the embedded video, you can directly see it here.
Pristine just turned three and not aware what her parents were up to – selling house furniture, packing big boxes and bags and boarding a really huge plane. The travel was a long 12 hours but she sure wasn’t complaining when we took her to the beach just a few days after we landed in Dubai in January 13, 2007!
The no-jacket feeling is liberating!

Baby Kate giggled at the sound of your voice and at the sight of Pristine. 😀 She had to maneuver her walker back to where I am to see the video.
Pristine was yet very small at that time. You obviously love UAE – most of your posts say so.
Cheers to your 4 years here in the UAE. Let’s celebrate for that!

Such a great video, I cannot believe how big Pristine has gotten.
I’m amazed that it has been 4 years that you have been there – what a tremendous thing you and your family have done.
Wishing you another successful year. HUGS!
