Cool Kid

-
Going to keep it short today.

Kiddo and Beer went on a day trip yesterday to a desert cafe farm type thing.  She had a blast.  The only bad news was that BattieCup got a rip and so we needed to do Dada/Kiddo surgery this morning on him.  He needed a night to rest and have a boo-boo buddy ice pack for the night.  Sorry I didn't get pics, but BattieCup slept all last night wrapped in a blanket with an icepack.  I couldn't love her more.  However, how cool for Kiddo.  She got a chance to see and touch a water buffalo.  How frickin cool is that!  

And ride a bike.

And just be her and explore and have some fun experiences and eat some yummy treats with Beer.  What a cool thing to do.  I wish, at 5, I could have had the same experiences.  I'm constantly amazed at Kiddo; her bravery to do things like this, her thirst for wanting to see and know about animals and nature.  She's incredible and we hope that this is just the beginning of her doing all the cool stuff.  Mumma and I want that for you, Kiddo.  For you to have the freedom and flexibility to explore and ask questions about what you see in the world around you.

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...
