Rob's Birthday

We took our friend Rob out bowling for his birthday. Kiki loves her "Uncle" Rob. 

Thanksgiving visit to the lion

On Thanksgiving evening after we had all eaten our fill, we took the kids over to visit the neighbor's lion. As it turns out, they have many more animals too! They have one male african lion, two fisher cats, a hunting falcon, several turtles and a few other exotic birds. It was a fun time for the Kieran and her friends, Ben and Joel.

Kiki's friend, Isaac

We had some dear friends visit us here in Karachi for one month, Josh and Rebecca K. They have two kids, Isaac (2.5 yr.) and Josiah (8 mo.). Kieran is really missing her playmate, Isaac. This a picture of Isaac and Kiki in the tub, and a drawing of Isaac that Kiki made today.

Dinosaurs

Kieran is really into dinosaurs. A few months ago she was pretending to be one and ended up eating some toxic houseplants. After a few hours in the ER she was deemed fit to go home.

Kieran as a Flower Girl

Kieran and her cousin, Hannah did a great job as flower girls in Jon's sister's wedding. There are more wedding pictures at http://www.dunnetteupdate.blogspot.com/ . There was a rather large gaggle of little girls at the reception - they loved being able to let loose and rip up the dance floor. I had Kiki and Hannah's red dresses made in Pakistan.
