What 450 alotted pounds of luggage looks like
Here we go!
We leave Sioux Falls at 230.
Fly to Chicago,  then Zurich, then land in Dubai Wednesday the 19th, 9pm local time

It's really happening!
Some of us were awake at 230 this morning with excitement.  Some were awake at 5 am with anxiety. All of us are dealing with a mixture of both.

The adventure begins!

    Wow! How come that doesn't look like a lot for 450lbs?!? Praying for your anxiety and travels that you clearly see God's hand at work for your family. We love you guys! So looking forward to Saturday and hearing all God has done for you all! Love, Mossman Family

      Thanks for your prayers! It seemed a lot for 450 lbs if you factor in walking through 3 airports, yet we forgot flip-flops!

      Missing everyone,
      Henry

    So can relate. Praying for you all and excited to follow your adventures! With older kids I am sure there will be new challenges but also so much room for adventure. Enjoy!

Counting in Arabic

That's "welcome" in Arabic! It's pronounced "marhaba". Isn't it gorgeous? My family and I have recently been learning Arabic, and we've just started to move on to the numbers after we finished all the letters. I decided to write a blog post on writing numbers in Arabic because I personally love this language and I wanted to share a bit with you. Bear with me as I run you through this latest crash course, and perhaps I'll learn you a thing or two. Right, first off there are some things you should know before I jump into the numbers. Arabic numerals are written left to right, contrary to the way the words are written. (Right to left) Second off: The decimal point in Arabic is a comma, so to my knowledge, there is no way to distinguish hundreds from thousands, thousands from millions, etc except by counting digits. Zero:  This is a tricky one because it looks just like the decimal point in English, and is even written near the botto

The Abu Dhabi Adventure

        Yes! I can finally say that I have been to Abu Dhabi! This post covers all of the best day yet, so I'm going to try a different tactic this time: Yesterday was Mom's first time driving in the UAE. Based on her reaction, I think that she thinks driving is stressful, because her knuckles were pretty white for the hour it took to drive there. Oh, and guess who saw the first camel? ME!!😄 We looked around some neighborhoods we are thinking of living at, then Mom drove us to a mall for a celebratory "We didn't crash" lunch. Since she was the driver, she got to pick where we ate. We ended up at a French restaurant, where we were served  this gourmet ketchup . At the same place, Henry ordered CocaCola, and it came in this way cool glass bottle. Greta's bear shaped cookie she got for dessert. And now we get to our Beach Adventure. That's Greta, and the picture is at the Abu Dhabi Beach. She's looking for shells and other such

#1: The Flight from Sioux Falls to Chicago       We started off to the airport from my Grandparents' house. My Aunty drove us there so her family could buy our van. Security was hard on my nerves, but fortunately it passed without incident for us. Waiting for the plane wasn't too bad, and it didn't take too terribly long! Then we finally boarded our plane. It wasn't a big one, but I was comfortable enough. My ears adjusted to the pressurized cabin, as we lifted off the runway. I got a window seat on this time, and I spent most of the one hour and forty minutes of the flight staring out the window at the clouds, and the tiny, itty-bitty peasants beneath me. According to Ben, "I can see why google maps puts the ground into squares because that's what it actually looks like! When we flew into Zurich, we flew through the clouds!"  Flying with Dad was great because he could answer all our questions. "They're contrails, short for 'condensatio
