DAY EIGHT The breakfasts at the hotels here are giant buffets with all kinds of foods, not just what we would call breakfast foods. They have rice, chinese food, thai food and then all the american breakfast foods also. Whenever you order eggs you just go to the ‘egg station’ and they fix them however […]
Day Seven We were met at the train by Sutthida and Jongjit and were off in a big van and all of our other luggage in a taxi to our new hotel. I’ve never wanted to brush my teeth and shower so bad, but…no time! We had to get to the place to eat so […]
DAY SIX Right now we are on the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. There is so much to say, but yesterday was very interesting as well. We took the sky train to go to the weekend market in Bangkok. Charles and Jo’s friends met us at the hotel to accompany us on this journey. […]
DAY FOUR (OR FIVE, SOMEWHERE I HAVE LOST A DAY. LET’S JUST SAY FIVE) Thank goodness Judah woke up back to his normal self. We had to get up early…and I was so worried about sleeping in…definitely has not bee a problem! I woke up at 4:00am again. At least this time I felt well […]
DAY TWO Yes, it is 4:15am and Josie and I are hanging out in the bathroom at our hotel. I have no idea what time it is in Seattle, but it is clearly a time when Josie is usually awake. And so we sit on the bathroom floor while I try to keep her quiet […]
Thailand…So I have been debating about how to even begin to sum up a 2 week vacation to Thailand with four kids, amazing stories, interesting experiences and the list goes on. It seems like just too big of a task to begin. We only took 1700 pictures, flew on 6 planes, rode on an overnight […]
Turning 35……or half-way to 70, as Andy says. Yes, it’s true, another year older. I remember back to the day when I looked at my aunts and uncles who were in their 30’s and thought about how they were still pretty cool for being so old. And now here I am. Do I feel 35? […]
Frustration…As you can see from my previous post, I still can not get the hang of this layout of the blog. I’m sure this is some ridiculous problem on my part, but it is irritating none-the-less. I tried to put captions under the pictures and they got all messed up. Well, it is now a […]
A Trip to Tennessee! So we had our big trip to Tennessee. Just Jo, myself and all four of the kids. We split it up between the Hirschman/Knight/McKee and Sanchez sides of the family and had an amazing trip. It was so nice for the kids to meet lots of extended family. They had lots […]
Josie’s first birthday! So it happened…our baby girl turned one! I can’t believe how fast the first year flew by. I was just sorting through her baby clothes and remembering the day we brought her home like it was yesterday. She just got her first two teeth on the bottom and started crawling. She is […]
