Hello to all our friends and family!  We can’t believe that a whole week has almost passed since we arrived in Thailand! We made it through 27 hours of travel, finding every airport playground in the world! We had noodles for breakfast at 4am  in Taiwan. And then we finally go to Thailand and… The [...]

I was finishing up stuff for work a few days ago, so much was running through my mind.  We still needed to pack, tie up loose ends with bills for the next two months…I was also in the midst of conversation with Brian, as all this craziness swirled through my head.  We were sitting at [...]

We’re back for Day Two on Lenses. Are you all still with me? Thank you so much for all the comments in yesterday’s post. If you haven’t had a chance to read people’s comments from yesterday, I strongly urge you too. A number of people chimed in about their experience with lenses and what types [...]

I’m slowly making my way through all our Thailand photos, and I don’t think I ever showed you the elephants! Is that possible! When Brian and I went to Thailand last year, we came home with lots of elephant stories. A seed was planted in Blaze and ever since he has dreamed of riding elephants [...]

Yes, you heard me! There are WINNERsssssss (more than one!). Don’t you think we need more than one winner! The guessing game and creative ideas were to fun to only give one prize! Misty gets the first prize! She guessed that Cross Fit was a part of it. Girl, you know me so well! Check [...]

So much to process after living in the jungle. How does one come home from a journey like ours and assimilate back? The Langur monkeys did not show up our last morning to say goodbye. They had come almost every day until our last week. They were either entertainment or headache. And yet, they were [...]

I want to thank all of you for sharing your rich wisdom with me on how to deal with the culture shock of being home. Your tips are not only brilliant, but they validate the part of me that is longing for our jungle home and curious monkeys. I’ve been looking at the images from [...]

We’ve Got Mail!

We are home. I must admit, I have a bag of mixed emotions as I type those three words. I cried the whole way home, and the WHOLE way was 17 hours of flight time. Don’t be surprised if I find myself processing with all of you this week. In the meantime, we’ve got mail. [...]

Feeling Invisible

Thai people LOVE children. In fact, just that statement feels like an understatement. You have to experience it to see how intense their love for children is. For example, Brian and I will be walking with the kids, and Thai people will walk right up to Blaze with big smiles. They’ll squat down to Blaze’s [...]

Our Thailand time is coming to an end. But there are a few more posts I have to do for you! And then I’ll need to make a serious Thailand slideshow so you can see all the images I never got to post on the blog. If you were to ask Pascaline what her favorite [...]
