Immigration Hanger

-

I was back at the Immigration offices today to get my Certification of Residency processed and I remembered to take pictures this time.  This building is HUGE.  I got all my papers stamped and answered all the questions needed and off I went.  All in all, pretty painless.




Kiddo got her Covid shot on Monday in the afternoon and we spent the rest of the day chilling.  Watched Monsters Inc. and took it easy.  As you can see, the nursing staff was ALL OVER Kiddo during this time.   They tried to distract her and have her look away, but she wants to watch.  She’s like Dada in that.  I’m the same way.  Let me see what’s going on.  If it’s too much I’ll look away.  She curious.  And brave.  So, she wants to look.  And I just gave her my hand to squeeze if she got nervous.  She was a trooper and didn’t flinch.  One shot down… who knows how many to go.  <Sigh>. Can we all please just Vax and Mask so the world can get back to something like normal!




We also went back to Decathlon so I could get a little more Basketball gear.  Just some better shorts and shirts to hoop in.  While there, I saw some headbands that were Kiddo sized and so I grabbed those for Kiddo so she could keep her hair out of her face when she doesn’t want it up in a bun or ponytail.  I think she’s freakin’ adorable.



Lastly, the construction continues.  The road is coming right along.  Kiddo is thrilled and checks up on it every day.  Yesterday, we sat on the steps for five minutes just so she could watch and wonder and talk and ask about it.  A lot I can’t answer.  I wish PopPop were closer, he might have more insights.  Or Uncle Grub.






Life just rolls on.  Construction continues.  We live and smile.  


Let’s go, Kiddo… the adventure continues.

Working on setting this up and making it more to our liking and style.  I wanted to get something up, just so we have a placeholder and a little welcome to anyone coming over and wondering if this is really A, J, or the Kiddo. Also, it gives me a chance to try putting some media up as well.  Pics AND Videos???  Can it really be???? Cheers fro now and we'll be back to write more later.  Have a great day and thanks for poking us here to see that we are all still ok.

On being brave

I was laying in bed the other night and I was just awake and thinking.  I was thinking, specifically, about Kiddo and how brave she is in a lot of ways.  Moving across the world with J and I (not that she had much choice) was brave.  Quarantine.  Going to a school with mostly Thai kids.  Making friends.  Losing her tooth.  All of it.  She is so brave.   Even her attitude.  That want to see more of the world and to explore it.  Her willingness to go to markets with J and myself and eat bugs.  Last summer in Vietnam and just trying pho or banh mi while we walked down a street.  Getting lost with J in the rain in HCMC and having that adventure.  Her excitement to travel 30,000 miles this summer.  Her excitement for Shanghai and wondering how it will be different, better/worse, and what kind of ‘interesting and fun things to do” once we get there.   As I lay in the dark being a proud papa, I couldn’t help b...

A weekend in the life of Kiddo

We have our LA and SF trips set.  We are going to find some time this week to plan and set the Wisco trip and then the Mexico trip, but one step at a time.  J is looking at properties in MX for us and we will book that all soon.  Then, it’s just tying up life here, selling off our stuff, packing and getting ready to move and then it’s just airplanes, airports, and adventures. It’s not all busy work though.  We are still having some fun.   J needed to go to school on Saturday to drop off some of Kiddo’s stuff that she is repurposing to her classroom.  Puzzles and books that Kiddo aged out of and what better place than a Kindergarten classroom.  Perfect solution and better than trudging them into town and getting next to nothing selling them for credit only to acquire more books to drag around the world.  New books can wait for Shanghai, if at all, because J and I are on Kindles and Kiddo is mainly on the iPad and Epic for her books.  The l...
