Our Life

I'm sorry for the long silence.  We have had a lady from Charleston, SC out here for the past month putting fish farms up at many of our sites in Kalimantan to help the sites produce more income for their schools and what not.  She was an absolute blessing to me.  She is exactly one month younger than my mom.  We had almost an instant bond however because of that friendship I had a hard time taking time for the blog.  Well we put her on the plane today so I am back.  I love my faithful readers, sorry if I let you down.

Anyway, we had Starbucks drinks today when we were in the big city.  I was alone with Caroline in Starbucks for a bit and was looking at all of the Christmas decorations and mugs.  Before I knew it my eyes were teared all up as I was flooded with memories from last Christmas.  Last Christmas I was preggers and in America.  I remember shopping with my parents one day and then stopping off at Starbucks.  The smells and the decorations today were the same as that day.  I am always amazed at how smells can bring on such strong memories.  I miss you parents.  We had such a good Christmas with you last year.

While our "fish lady" was here we went to the safari again.  This time Clara had the courage to ride the pony.  She has ridden the elephant 6 times in her 2 years of life but has always wanted to ride the pony but has been too scared.  I know, backwards right...Well she did it this time!  Caroline also had some fun with a chimp, she even had her picture taken with the chimp!
