MegaPost of pics from Break

-
As promised, here is the mega post with all the children museum pics, butterfly enclosure pics, water play pics, and etc from our Feb break.  As you can see, we had a blast and just had some fun.  I’m not going to try to recap and all that.  We went and saw stuff and played and had fun.  It was nothing of note; other than the family fun and Kiddo having Kiddo fun.  There was also giving the building's soi dog, Super, some flowers.  Even a few pics of just sitting around in jammies eating a donut.  :)

NOTE: Videos are at the backend and there are only a few short ones.  If you have questions about a certain pic or area, drop a note or comment or message me and I will include/update that.


Before I go - We are sending our thoughts and love to Schmittah today.  After a long battle with cancer, he lost his mom last night.  She will continue to live in the heart and mind of Schmittah and family.  She will continue in ours as well.  I had a chance to meet Schmittah’s mom a few times and I am happy that I had a chance to know her and that I will continue to know Schmittah.  We owe death to life and we will all pay when it’s our time, but that doesn’t mean those we knew and affected aren’t sad because of it.  I am here, Schmittah, as are J and Kiddo and we will keep space in our heart to help you carry the memories, and pain, as needed.  We send love and we send an essence of our spirit to help usher your mom to the next realm- whatever that might hold for her.  May she find rest and may you find balm in these words and our friendship.

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...
