Thailand is in need of experienced electricians if anyone is interested. This is the electrical box leading into our building. I'm thankful we have power after seeing that. Not alot of saftey regulations going on around here.

Thailand has a King that everyone loves and adores.
But Thailand also loves Americas King. Have you ever
seen a Thai Elvis? I have.
















I had roast duck the other night and it was really good. This was before I saw them hanging from the neck next to the kitchen.













Chloe was so worn out that she fell asleep with the bottle still in her mouth. This was taken a couple of hours after giving her the bottle!













Don't feel too sorry for us. We have KFC and Sizzler! Did I mention KFC sells ice cream. When we want an ice cream cone, we go to KFC!

Nong Yim's 1st Birthday

Chloe is a little hard for most asian people to say so a couple of friends of ours gave Chloe a nickname. This is not unusual in our country because most people's names are so long that everyone is given a shorter nickname that they use on a regular basis. In fact, most people do not even use their real names except for legal documents and driver's licenses. Everyone just knows each other by their nickname.

Our friends gave Chloe the name "nong yim." It means "little sister smile." This is because she smiles so much and her little dimple on one cheek is so noticeable. I like it.

Well, last week was nong yim's first birthday. We celebrated a little early with some friends who were in town that we knew from training. We received packages from both our families just in time to bake brownies and for Chloe to have presents to open from family.


The brownies were awesome!! Thanks so much.



Chloe liked opening the presents.

Then, on Saturday we went to some other friends house who have a baby the same age as Chloe. In fact, they have the same birthday. There was another little boy who also celebrated with us. He has the same birthday as well!! All three really enjoyed playing in the swimming pool of balls. Chloe's friend Keeley is in the background.

Chloe was feeling a little cocky after getting so much attention on her birthday.
