Chiang Mai Thailand

Very first time ever for all kinds of things...
Elijah watches a lawn mower from the balcony. He told me in Lao that he was scared.

We brought the bike with us, so Nathan's been getting all around town with the kids and their new lady bug helmets! Pink for Eva and red for Elijah... good and safe as they are actually strong motorbike helmets.

Christmas in the tropics!

random picture catch up

Elijah loves his big boy bed! Isn't it cute? We had it made just down the street.

Last night in his port-a-crib... growing up way too fast.

Birthday party for two friends- Tirzah and Leana!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Tirzah!

They have entered the world of make believe... pretending to take the boat ferry from laos to thailand.

THANK YOU AUNT KRISTA!!!!!!!

I LOVE books!!! And Elijah will love the books you sent too as soon as he's feeling better!
THANK YOU!
You are awesome!
Love, Eva

Super Bike

We welded an extension rack together and fastened it to the existing bike rack. We get a lot of stares when going around town!

Riding the bike is one of the kids' favorite things to do.

making banana and pumpkin bread!
