OCTOBER

October was filled with rain, fieldtrips, cross country, celebrations...and then more rain!:)

I got to tag along on both Abe's 3rd grade fieldtrip to Safari World and Emma's preschool fieldtrip to the Bangkok Aquarium -- such sweet days with both. Look at this handsome four-pack I got to hang out with...

And Emma's to the Bangkok Aquarium....

We celebrated Chip's 13th birthday...

And 'Aunt Rita's'...

Addie and Abe's ran their final cross country meet....

Addie's 5th grade class had a "dress as your favorite book character" day and Addie dressed as Karana from The Island of the Blue Dolphins (her rabbit pelt from South Dakota came in handy!)...

And to say that we got a little rain is an understatement...

So we stayed indoors and played a lot of ping pong!:)

SEPTEMBER

September was full of monsoons, cross country and 40th birthday celebration!
The monsoon rains put a kink in our daily commute and school soccer field...

But they are pretty fun when they turn your elementary playground into a slip-n-slide...

Abe and Addie's first cross country meet at the Ancient City (Dad ran too!)...

The cheering section...

And celebrating Jonathan's 40th birthday with a surprise office party and a fun day out at Lumpini Park...

Lots of play dates with Emma's best pal Sarina...

And another lovely park day spent at King's Park...
