Al Malki Baby Art

Since our time is coming to an end here in Doha, I wanted to do something to commemorate the birth of all of the 9 babies in our compound. I came up with getting a canvas to stamp all of their hands or footprints on. Knowing that I am the least creative person alive, Mike asked me where I came up with this idea. I told him, "My brain". To which he replied, "Really?".

The Jacksons are leaving this week to go back to the UK and we and the Neils are leaving within the month. So, we rounded up all of the babies and decided one foot would be much easier than hands! They actually turned out pretty cute. We are still waiting on one baby to be born (Sheri is still in labor as I type this post!) and the other baby is home in Australia for a visit.

The finished product (Olivia in yellow).

Will testing it out on paper first.

What a cute idea and sweet memory to have of your time in Qatar! Their feet look so big to me, it must be the computer

Now you need to get a group photo and stick it in the blank space between the footprints!

I'm glad your brain came up with the idea! And that you let us use your dinning room for all the fun :-)

That is cute. Are you moving back? I am sooo out of the loop.
