It's Christmas night here in the southern hemisphere.   I'm pretty sure I say the same thing every year.   As not to break tradition... This was the best Christmas Ever!    It was truly brilliant. Here are a ton of really random pictures from the past couple of days. Bulls-eye~ she's so cheeky Angelina became the mamma of 3 last Saturday.  {Fiona lent them her pink teddy}.  One Zombie Eating Brain three zombies eating brain yes he did.  what a fun guy. Christmas Eve thank you santa love she bought him a tape measure he liked it Ry got a waffle maker.  (I've yet to find frozen waffles here)   The Guys waffles were divine! Scooter rides. I suppose there are some bonuses to not having a white Christmas. scooter accidents  catching up with family.  i love technology. but not as much as him, you ...

I'm pretty sure all I did was blink and the school year was over. I am so proud of the progress these two have made this year! Their reading & writing AMAZE me!  I knew they were smart cookies but I never thought in my wildest dreams they would be where they are today. This year has been huge in all of our lives.  For Reed it has made the greatest impact.  We were so worried about his social skills and once again found we worry too much about him.  He's a popular dude among his schoolmates.  His teacher told us, the number of children from all the prep classes that requested to be in Reed's class next year was astonishing.  I'm so proud of him for all the anxieties he's overcome. Academically he is so rocking it. Fiona is the youngest in her grade (she's still only 5) but let me tell you she has kept up with the best of them.  She's a beautiful little girl and as apprehensive as I was to let her out of my nest I'm so glad we did.  I...

 Christmas Concert {so cute} Come this Friday school's out for summer . I know, Christmas & Summer holiday~ together?   It's not right is it? We have lots more Christmas cheer to spread and I'm feeling the pinch of time because I wait until the last minute for everything. Why do I do that?  Wishing you well...

Before running to her ballet performance, Snow White, I was able to snap a few picture of our little dove. Tomorrow night Ryan & I have a big date planned to watch one of the prettiest girls dance. I sure can't wait.

sweaty & red-cheeked~ yet still so cute The kids loved all the cats and dogs that lingered around most restaurants on the island. In that setting it didn't bother me either.  All the cafes and such are open-aired . Love that!  I wish I had better captured our shoes in that photo.  Can you see them lined up at the the very bottom of the picture?  Thais think it's disgusting to wear shoes inside.  Even at the local service store there are shoes lined up at the door to remind us westerners to take off our shoes before entering.  {It really does make sense.}  Yet another reason for a pedicure. Let your smile change the world but  don't let the world change your smile  I'm madly in love with this guys new smile.   I'm trying to get as many pictures as I can while it lasts.   Quickly the top front are sliding into place. "Can you read this mum?"
