And so life begins...

It's been just over two weeks now since Zoe has joined me in Doha and we are getting along like we were never separated.  It is so good having her here; life can now begin as I have everything that I need here with me!!

 The moment they walked through the doors!!  I got my big reunion cuddle and kiss from her, which I was hoping for but never expected!!

Some of the 'supplies' that she came with 

A pit stop at the ELC toy shop and all she wanted was a cleaning set.  We couldn't convince her to buy anything else, but then she eventually settled for a cake with candles

This is how Zoe and Safwaan's friendship first began.  Safwaan is a regular visitor to my house, keeping me company when I was all alone

...and now they are like this.  Zoe loves Safwaan!!  

She asked me one day "where is the farm?" and I said to her that there isn't a farm here, but I could take her to the Zoo instead but she continued on about "the farm" and I kept insisting that there was no farm here and it wasn't until she said, "no the boy the farm" that I realised that she was actually asking for Safwaan!!  Oh dear!!

Nothing has changed here!!  Practically begged me to wear my high heels!

Sure has the pose all sorted!!

Zoe's first of many to come, Pinkberry treats.  Frozen yoghurt with her choice of topping...blueberries, brown chocolate and pink chocolate (of course)

Zoe sunscreening herself up!!  Oh, I had forgotten the things that they can get up to when you turn your back for a second

Taking a dip in the compound pool.  The temperature is the same as that of a bath so its not as refreshing but at least you don't get the chills jumping in!!

First day of childcare.  So proud of my baby girl who embraced the whole first day without any tears.  Lets hope she makes some new friends fast, but I know they will not be be like her best friends Elizabeth and Anika from back home

Zoe and her strawberry milkshake which was more like a thick shake 

Zoe and Aaliyah

Zoe's special handmade bracelet and necklace from Luke, Dale and Maria

Good byes are never easy and Zoe kept saying "I want to go with you daddy" but all it took was a strawberry lemonade and she was back with her mummy again!!

A little piece of home found at my local grocery store, and the items weren't too badly priced either.  Thanks Lulu!!
