This too shall pass….we hope.

It’s been 6 days since Samantha swallowed my ring and we still have not retrieved it. On the advice of teachers at her preschool, we took her to the hospital on Monday and took an x-ray. The ring was still in her stomach, and the Doctor said it could take up to...

Mummy, pay attention to me…

Today was onne of those days when I just didn’t want to get out of bed. After waking up with Timothy at 6:30am, meeting his food and diaper needs, I went back to bed. And a new adventure began.Timothy made his way into my bed (he’s quite the climber these...

I’ve been concerned about Samantha ever since we returned from The United States. We left Thailand when she was 18 months and returned when she was 30 months. A year is a long time for a toddler. By the time we got back she had forgotten her Thai, and I think...

Guest Post: “He’ll Never”

Laura is a good friend from my California days. We met about 13 years ago when Sean and I were Youth Leaders at our church, and her kids were part of the Youth program. Through various moves we’ve managed to keep in touch. I love her blog, Adventures in Juggling...

Wisdom of Darling Husband

Sean has a blog all of his own. I really like this entry about Babies.Taking care of babiesBefore you have a baby there is so much that you need to know but no matter how hard you prepare there will always be surprises.Sleeping like a baby means: Sleeping peacefully...

Oh, What A Day!

Saturday June 19It started out like any other day. The kids woke at the crack of dawn. I felt miserable and wanted to stay in bed all day. Sean was my hero and let me sleep a little longer. At breakfast I suddenly realized I’d left my wedding rings in the...

The Butterfly Pharmacy

Friday June 18We decided to take the bus to the Butterfly Farm. Samantha was excited to climb take the pedestrian bridge to cross over the highway – not as impressive as the bridges in Bang Na, Bangkok, but still a delight for Miss Three. She studied the ants at...

Thursday June 17

Thursday June 17We really wanted to find a nicer beach, or a place where the kids could swim. Sean had taken the kids to the beach on Wednesday evening while I rested (again), but there were lots of itty bitty jelly fishing stinging them. We thought of Golden Sands...

Wednesday June 16

After a rough night with Timothy, I woke up around 9am. The nice thing about the small room was that it was dark, so the kids slept in easy and took naps easy. I think that Sean may have taken Samantha and Timothy to the beach again, while I slept in and got ready to...

Tuesday June 15We arrived at Baan Talay Home Stay in Tanjong Tokong at about 6pm. I was still pretty much a zombie, so I blankly stared at KD as he talked to me about our room. By this time I had lost my voice, and couldn’t speak above a very painful whisper....
