Discussions about PaPa

Now that we are back in Asia we talk to my parents and John's parents about once a week on the web cam. My computer sits near our kitchen table so recently when Zeb sees it during meal times he points to it and says "PaPa". That is what he calls my dad. He apparently thinks that my dad "lives" in there and if I open it up he will suddenly appear. Kayleigh then suggests we call him. This starts a discussion on what Papa is doing at the time. I usually have to explain that he is sleeping and that we can not call him at 12am at night or that he is driving to work and he won't be home. It is a lot to grasp for a three year old to think that when she is getting up her grandparents are preparing for bed. We had a lot of discussions about the time difference when we were apart. Now when we call our parents Kayleigh insists on seeing their windows to see if it is dark outside or not. So every meal time I am prepared to go through the Papa discussion just one more time.

Cow Apperiation Day!

I have a confession to make. I might be a little obsessed with Chick-fil-a. The fact that this is my second blog of the summer about this restaurant and the events that have gone on there might be an indication or could it be that we have been so much that I can't even count how many times. Should I dare say that Kayleigh has even mentioned Chick-fil-a in her prayers. She says:
"Dear God, thank you for my friends and Chick-fil-a." I do really love the restaurant especially as a mom with two kids. It is the most kid friendly restaurant I have ever been too. Once I was there alone with both kids. After I ordered they brought me my food to the table and continued to asked me if they could bring me anything else. That was very helpful since I didn't feel like I could leave my kids alone. So when we found out it was Cow Appreciation Day and that whoever was dressed up like a cow got a free meal, we couldn't pass up the opportunity. We had spent the morning with Kelsey John's sister. We got white garbage bags and put black spots all over them. Chick-fil-a provided the hats and the signs which the kids decorated. We had such a good time. They had real cows you could pet once we got there. The free meal was worth all the fun we had dressing up!

The whole gang!

Leaving for Thailand

We have about 3 and a half hours until we leave for the airport to go to Thailand for the next 3 weeks. I am not sure how much we will be able to blog in Thailand because the internet is limited but we will try to write as much as we can. It will most likely be sporadic posts here and there in stead of everyday as it has been the last few weeks.
