By the way

By the way, we're having the boys' rooms painted today in anticipation of Tim relinquishing his room to his brother. Yes, Josh, for the first time in his life, will have his own room.

More summer pics posted below...

We're back.

Well, I'm back. Some of you know that our family spent the summer in the states (June 5 - August 15). We got back to Asia just two days before the boys started school. Tim is now in 10th, Josh 9th, and Peter began his first year of middle school. Getting back with friends and classes and catching up on foods they'd missed was a good way for the boys to combat jet lag. Too bad that early morning wide awake, ready for action feeling fades away. Our summer was very full and I'll try to post a few pictures below to give the highlights. Thank you to our family and friends (old and new) who gave us their time, words and notes of encouragement, listening ears, and love during these days.

First helicopter ride.... Thanks Mr. Hendricks!

Josh & Peter both skied, but Josh got hooked.
