More From August...


I love this picture!  Scott and I took Dennis and Marcia out for durian one night.  The bus that we took there was pretty full, so we each had to sit in a different row.  I was near the front and at one point I turned around and snapped this picture.


Beautiful dragon fruit!


Durian is so sharp and pokey that the guys wear gloves when they open it.


You eat the squishy yellow part.  I've actually come to like and enjoy eating durian.  


Marcia didn't really like it...



These are longan.


Crazy Hair Day.  


We tried to curl Madeline's hair too, but the curlers were too big and it didn't take very well.


Grandma needed one last henna before she returned to the US.


We absolutely LOVED having Papa and Gram visit us.  It's was really wonderful for us to have the chance to share our little life here with them.  The kids were so proud to bring them to school and to show them all the little things in their life here.  It's really special.  I think it's also helping a lot with the beginning of our transition back to Austin.  The kids feel very close with their grandparents again, and knowing they will be there on our return makes it that much more exciting to go home.  

Thank you Dennis and Marcia for making that long journey half way around the world to be with us!  


Book Week!  Both girls decided to dress up Star Wars for Book Week this year.  We couldn't be more proud.  


Lily was the MC for the Year 2 assembly for Book Week.  She had several pages of lines and also some jokes to tell!  I was really proud of her.  She did an excellent job!




Lily had a recital for her violin.  She performed Lavender Blue.  She did a beautiful job!

We are nearly caught up... just one more post...
