Sherwin’s Good Bye

A good friend of ours is leaving Doha.  We are very sad to see him go but we are happy to know that he is going home to a job that is much closer to his family in the Philippines.

We had a send off party for him.  We ate Subway, various side dishes and wrapped it up with a really good strawberry cake.  After most of the visitors went home for the evening we had Sherwin, Arnel and Joseph stick around for a couple of games of Skip Bo.

We took along the video camera this time to capture the ultrasound from start to finish.  Click on the link to see Eli’s brain, feet, hands, heart, kidney, spine, etc.  He’s really grown since our 18 week check up.  He’s almost 1 lb!  David can even feel his little kicks sometimes.

See the ultrasound:

Qatar Total Open

One thing Qatar has going for it is its sporting events.  This week the Women’s Qatar Total Open has been going on.  Last year we went to see the men play with David’s grandfather.  This year we went to see the women play.  We missed Martina Hingis but we did see a really good doubles game.

We met a new friend named Bobby (Boog) Powell.  We took the day to introduce him to Rik's Kountry Kitchen, the town of Al-Khor, Fuwairit Beach and the local souqs.
