Day 2 of (being) 6

-

I’ll let the pics and vids do the talking (for the most part) today.  Kiddo was super love and sweet and just so excited for her birthday and being 6.  A few little news and notes.  When she opens the Kanvinski (haha) and she loves it, but then her shock at cost.  It’s so kidlike, but also so aware at the same time.  We smiled and marveled at how wonderful she is.  Also, the new friend she got.  It’s been all about Hedgy last night and this morning.  Lastly, J and I were tucking her in for the 3rd and last time last night (sigh… KIDDO!!!!) and when we finally got the yawns and comforts and she was loved enough to sleep, we kissed her and told her night night for real.  J added, “Good night, my sweet six year old.”  Without missing a beat, Kiddo chimes in, “Ya know, Mumma and Dada… I don’t FEEL 6 yet.  It still feels like 5.”  Yeah, well, guess what, Kiddo… It feels like we only brought you home from the hospital the first time about 5 minutes ago.  


Let’s go, Kiddo… Time to be 6 and have fun, but it’s also one step closer to you realizing that the days are long and slow and the years are dust in the wind and seem to move too fast most times.  We love you and the 6 years we’ve had so far are far and away the best.

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...
