I've seen a bicycle with a surf board rack, a fire engine pulling a yacht & a bronzed old man with muscles like a dinosaur. We're in Hawaii! 06:01:13 AM July 15, 2010 from Birdhouse
Hong Kong airport. Free wifi. Chai. Lounge chairs. Kids craft area (gate24). Kids potties. English books. Love it! Gotta board the plane now 10:48:54 AM July 14, 2010 from Birdhouse
Hong Kong! There's just something about the fresh air and convenient transportation (Octopus card!) that makes my travel weary body smile. 01:51:14 AM July 11, 2010 from Birdhouse

After the kids woke up from their afternoon naps, we headed to town in search of a little Children’s Day fun.

I think the kids look so Arkansan in this photo!

Schäfer insisted on wearing his “pig shirt”. He’s so interested in selecting his own clothing and he’s especially interested in changing clothes numerous times through out

For breakfast, we started the celebration with

Giving thanks for these precious two.

We had a full house this morning with many friend’s over for Sunday brunch and fellowship. The only thing I wanted for Mother’s Day was to take some photos of me with the kids (I’m usually the one taking photos) and to eat out for supper.

By Shorel & Sandra on April 3rd, 2010

Finishing and decorating an apartment starts to take a toll on a person. I needed to get on the bike again.

This Saturday the weather was nice. Not sunny. Slightly cool. No rain.

I noticed more and more people along the road. Far more than

Good Friday Goodness 2010

By Shorel & Sandra on April 2nd, 2010

I got out of bed delighted that it was Friday. I knew this because my Ironman watch told me so.

Hubs reminded me that it was Good Friday.

I immediately thought of Annelies and wondered if she was taking the day off from work which is her Good Friday tradition. It’s funny what brings people to mind.
