Where do I even start?

I'm afraid to even look at the date on my last post!  Instead of trying to make up for lost time, here are more recent pictures.  The kids had a month off for Chinese New Year.  During that time our sending organization had their yearly conference in Thailand, so we packed up and headed out for a couple of weeks.  The first week was spent at the conference.  We enjoyed a time of refreshment with others while the kids were able to participate in the children's program.  Everyone had a great week.  Here are pictures from that week.  I'll try to post pics and more details soon from our second week.

 Eden and I

There is an excellent dental clinic in Chiang Mai, with an amazing pediodontist.  Since it's also very affordable, we held out on Eden's first dental visit until this trip.  We were shocked that she only had one cavity!  She did so well.  Such a big girl!

 Tobey looks much more calm in this picture than he actually was.  He had 3 cavities (we thought he had 5 or 6) and screamed most of the time.  Thankfully the dentist got them filled in one visit.

 Enjoying the resort grounds.

 This sweet woman let the girls help her plant flowers.

 The resort had 2 elephants, one which was for riding.

 The girls and I were able to take a short ride.

 Eden's amazing hair after I took out her braids. And, no, Kai is not a thumb sucker, but he can't seem to keep his hands out of his mouth!

 Kai makes the most amazing faces, and this one is classic Kai.  Matt says he gets his faces from me.

 One evening we were able to set off Thai lanterns.

 The girls were amazed when they saw it lift off.

 Up, up, and away!

 I love Eden's hair.  Absolutely love it!  This picture was taken after swimming just to capture her gorgeous curls.

Stay tuned for more sometime soon...
