Spirit week and Dino rides

-
It's Spirit Week for Kiddo at school this week and it's been a blast so far.  On top of her cool and colorful outfits, she's also gotten to go to read to the 1st grade classes (Yes, she got to read to 1st Graders) about Space and on Friday there is an event in the afternoon at school.  It will include songs and Kiddo will get to show me her presentation on a planet; I believe it's Venus, but I also know she's got something going on with Saturn as well.

There was also colorful day, PJ day, Animal Day, etc.  As you can see, she was all in.

















Also, we have a dino exhibit near us at Central.  This last weekend, J and Kiddo cruised over to give it a look.  Needless to say, Kiddo LOVED it.  And then, on the way home, they stopped and fed some fish and chatted with some chickens.  Who doesn't just sit and chat with chickens?

















































Other than that, it's just been a week.  The weather is turning hot again and will be back to brutal in about 6 more weeks.  And then stay that way for the next 9 months.

Let's go, Kiddo..... You've read to 1st graders, ridden a dino, and held palaver with chickens.  Maybe tomorrow you will get an actual trip to space.

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...
