H2O + SAND!

Ko Samed was heaven.  

It is raining hard right now - I love the storms here.  They happen fast, with lots of thunder.  The kids are in bed and I am listening to the pounding of giant rain drops while typing this on our balcony.  The view is hidden by the sheets of water, but most of the time we have an amazing panoramic scene of the Bangkok skyline from all four of our balconies.  They each show a different angle.  

We have a long weekend next weekend, so we are headed to the beach.  If anyone is interested in the island where we will be, the link is:  http://www.kosamed.com

Isabel has been busy with play dates, and activities.  She takes piano lessons, swimming lessons, Thai lessons, Hip Hop lessons, and choir.  She has made quite a few Spanish speaking friends.  The kids at our school are from all over the world.  She seems to hang out most often with a girl from Bangkok, who has a Thai mother and a Canadian father.  

CJ is busy with friends too.  His best bud here is a little French boy named Seb.  He is also taking all kinds of lessons, but spends most of his time getting his BUG CLUB in order.  

I will post some pics of our school and our condo soon.  We miss you all!

La Playa.....

Finally, a photo or two!

A trip to the Royal Palace....we looked for Anna, from the King and I.

One night in Bangkok.......

has turned into 29 nights and counting....how do you like our beautiful, updated blog site???  Sorry  we  have been so pathetic, and thanks for checking in.  Besides the fact that life is a whirlwind right now- getting settled in a new home, jobs, school, community and country, we are not connected to the internet at home yet.  It is a long story...one involving work permits.  We should have wireless at home in a week or two, and promise stories and pictures.

We are really happy and having a wonderful adventure.  We miss our family and friends in Colorado.  Lots of love and check back soon...don't give up! 

OK...we tested the blog, seems to work. Time is flying now. One month from today we will be on the plane. We will update this blog as soon as we are settled. When we arrive, we head to the beach for 4 days, then back to Bangkok to settle. We have a week of orientation before school starts. Hopefully, sometime during that week, we can update this site with all of our new experiences.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of our friends and family for all of the help/support/parties/ and checking in with us during this transition. We love you all and will miss you very much!
