New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Sunday, January 25, 2015. Monday Morning in Paradise. As my alarm insistently pulls me awake in the predawn morning, I groan and think longingly of my Western hemisphere friends, still luxuriating in their Sunday evenings. I roll over gingerly, yes, still bruised where my hip bone pushes too sharply into the rock-hard Asian mattress. I feel loads better than yesterday when I was still in the firm clutches of whatever virus conquered me so completely. The bad news? Eggs sizzling o...

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่): Slices of Life in Paradise: May

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Slices of Life in Paradise: May. May in Thailand is hot. Seriously, sweat-drenching, energy-sapping hot. It's hot when you wake up, it's hot when you go to bed, it's hot at midnight, and it's excruciating in the sun. Thank goodness for air conditioning! Still, we managed to do a few things. Here are the highlights. The market was great (though even at 7:30pm, it was so hot- I think it was still 99 degrees and very humid, and that was after the sun went down!

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Rock, Paper, Scissors: Finding Stability in Transition. I've got lots of great posts to write- we've been busy having fun over here- but I'm working on something else right now. I'll get around to it, soon (or maybe later). Until then, here are some fantastic articles I read today that really hit home. Want some insight into some of the craziness of a Foreign Service life? Thursday, May 1, 2014. Slices of Life: Spring in Virginia. One of the very best parts...

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่): September 2014

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Monday, September 8, 2014. Where did the summer go? Lost in endless days of creek splashing, park playing, pool games, summer camps, and bike rides, this summer flew by. And then the busses were rolling up to the stop and the kids were waving good-bye, heading off to start another year of learning and growing. Funny Guy was the most excited, insisting on donning his heavily laden first-day-of-school-supply-filled backpack almost a full hour before time to head out the door!

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Saturday, July 25, 2015. Friday Fun Day (in Paradise). I really love my new job working at the Consulate, but it makes the time I have home with our kids extra important. Friday Fun Days have fast become a favorite tradition. The kids take turns planning the day, so each of us get one Friday per month to plan, and it has been so fun. We've taken trips to Sticky Falls, the zoo, and more. So much fun crammed into one day that it's a good thing Friday Fun Day only comes once a week!

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Scuba Diving in Paradise. Young Man had the incredible opportunity to go on a scout trip to Koh Lok and the Similan Islands where he completed his PADI scuba certification, earned a bunch of merit badges, and had the time of his life. Here's what he said about the trip (pictures are from other scouts and leaders on the trip):. Day 4 (Day 1 on the boat):. Dive 4- 5.00pm. Supposedly the best diving in Thailand and I believe it! And I had already not slept...

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Saturday, July 5, 2014. Fireworks and Flags: Independence Day in DC. There is something undeniably patriotic about watching fireworks explode over the National Mall while sitting with family and friends at the foot of the Washington Monument in DC. As the first fireworks lit the night sky, Darling Daughter burst into a spontaneous chorus of "The Star Spangled Banner" (followed by a somewhat less patriotic but just as beautiful rendition of the Korean national anthem! We made it o...

New Shoes (รองเท้าใหม่). Saturday, March 28, 2015. Slices of Life in Paradise (February and March). The first weekend in February there was a big flower festival in Chiang Mai. I wasn't feeling well (gotta love pneumonia! So My Man took the kids down to watch the parade. They enjoyed watching the parade with the many beautiful costumes and giant floats decorated almost completely with flowers, but I think their favorite thing was stopping for fruit smoothies on the way home. We spent Valentine's Day with...
