Dust, Dust and more Dust

For the past few days our lives have been engulfed in Dust. Not just a little dust but can hardly see across the street dust. I do not mind it as I stay in the house but when we go out it is so hard to breathe. Not much has been going on so not much to report. I have been sewing a lot and am in heaven sewing with my wonderful machine my honey bought me here.

What have we been doing?????

How about that this is my excitement for the day.

We have been here almost a week and still trying to get used to the time difference. I sure do miss my newest grandchild but the girls keep pics up on facebook.

We have landed in Kuwait

Ash and I got to Kuwait at about 5:30 pm and our guy from Hala Kuwait was waiting for us to take us through the process of getting our Visas. We got thru that in no time then onto luggage. Ash's luggage was easy to spot but mine was a little harder. So many people had Chaps luggage so I looked for my fabric tied. We got all of our luggage and then onto customs and then thru there. Then it was time to see my honey and sure enough he was there waiting. As I got to him he told me that Steph had called and Krista was in labor. I knew itand so we hurried home to call to see how it was going. Well I got the shock of my life to find out that she was having a C-section. Come to find out Gwyn had not turned and was butt down.
Gwyn Elizabeth was born July 16, 2009 at 1:22 pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. and was 19 inches long. I have no pics but I have seen her. She is the spitting image of Krista when she was born. I can not wait to get my hands on her.

Krista's appt. and I am leaving tonight

This is the last picture of my 2 pregnant daughters. Krista is at 40 weeks and Carla is 26 weeks. This morning Krista and I went to my last appt. with her. I leave this evening for Kuwait and my visit with Michael. The visit went well but they say she is not engaged. She was 1 cm. so I now know that I will not be here for the birth of my 3rd granddaughter. Krista says the baby will come as soon as I am in the air and when I land Michael will tell me all about the baby.
We got to the Airport about 3:30 and sat with the girls till it was time to go catch our plane. We had a very nice flight between Norfolk and D.C. and then it was a 3 hour wait for out flight to Kuwait. Ash got bored waiting but at least we did not have to run and almost miss our plane. The flight was nice and I watched a couple of good movies "17 Again" and a Julia Roberts movie. Ash slept for most of it and that was fine and I also tried to sleep. It was overall a great flight.
