It's Christmas Time in The City

Bryce is loving the holiday season. We are doing many arts and crafts, visiting light displays, singing carols, and visits to Santa and holiday parties. He definitely understands that there is something different about this time of year.

Balloon swords. Bryce borrowed a friends as he was scared (clung to me for dear life) to see the clown for a balloon.

BAMBI (a moms and babies group in BKK) singing Christmas carols with Santa.

Bryce can recognizes a picture of Santa on just about anything. We have been talking about visiting Santa and preparing for his visit. This year there were no tears for Santa. He let Bryce hold his bell for the picture.

Come Back, Cat

In memory of Scoop "Dude", may you eat all the whip cream from the clouds of heaven. You will be missed.

Bryce plays with two kittens.

Come here, cat. I like you, cat.

Oh, you were playing.
Well, you scared me, cat.
That's why I pushed you.

You can come back, cat.

Closer.

Closer.

That's it. Just a little more.

Oh, cat!

I hear your motor.

Turkey Day 2009

Happy Thanksgiving.

We had a fabulous holiday. Hope that everyone enjoyed their turkey dinner.

Making pies,

coring apples.

Our evening started with our friends Samantha, Ben and their daughter Jordan. Our neighbors and friends Galanne, Kesate and their son Mosisa joined us for dessert.

Enjoying dinner.

Bryce was stuffed to the brim, but still yelled "MORE PIE!!!"

Near The Thai-Burma Border

On day two of our trip to north-west Thailand we visited 3 Pagodas Pass. The beggining of the Burma-Thai railway. So close to Myanmar (Burma) but, not past the pole, we have seen Burma.

This is a bad picture yet it shows the action. This monk throws lucky beads over your head and he did not miss once, you can see the beads land around my neck too.
