Since landing back here in Bangkok in early August, I've had a running 'to do' list that just won't end. I'm sure you've had the same! It's just another time of year that calls for many, many tasks. The kids are back in school, all the fall activities are starting up, and it's time to start planning all of our getaways for the coming school breaks. On my list for the last month as been posting to the blog. I figure that most of my readers come from facebook friends and I do update my page fairly regularly, so you all know we are alive and well. That will just have to suffice sometimes!
I see my last post was June 18 and picking up where I left off does not particularly appeal to me so I'll just start with a quick shout out to all the family and friends we saw in the US this summer! Thank you everyone who hosted us, fed us, met with us, provided beds and washing machines for us, tour guided for us, hugged us, and made us feel so welcome and loved in each US state along the way. We love our home leave and I swear you make it harder and harder to depart every time!!!
Our leave this summer included stops in New Jersey, New York, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas. Happy reunions, cuddles with a new niece, birthday celebrations, running, big cities, and small town fun. A true whirlwind but oh so much fun! The wheels are already turning thinking about our next summer destinations.
But before summer comes around again, we have a school year to enjoy. D, a 2nd grader, is loving school and her list of after-school activities; swimming, Girl Scouts, jazz dance, and gymnastics. She's opted out of violin for now but may add piano. C, in Pre-K this year, will participate in swimming, cooking, and soccer. Both kids are enjoying play dates with classmates and neighbors.
I have a busy year ahead leading D's Girl Scout troop and teaching C's religious education class. I'll also apply to substitute teach at the school. Looking forward to all of it.
We're all excited to see any and all visitors who might find a Thai vacation in their plans. Love being able to provide an amazing vacation to all who brave that long journey. Paradise awaits!
Hoping everyone is enjoying their September and all the busy-ness that comes with it!
