End of school

Nathan's end of year choir concert- with music teacher, Judy Yap.










Feild day at TTDI park. Catching tad poles and picnic with his first grade class & teacher, Julie Munro.

June 2008

At a table with Michelle and Wai Quan & spouses.

Sweet Jason agreed to go with me to the MANZA Ball (the Malaysian, New Zealand, Australian Assiociation). My friend Nikki organized it, knowing we were leaving, I just couldn't miss this one! We enjoyed dinner, (one) dance and the company! Called it an early night- but completely content and glad we came.

Nikki & Melissa (an "ocar" theme- oh well, the gold dress was completely unintentional!)

Mother's Day May 08

We went to church in Ampang, the Bridge International Church on Mother's Day. We've really grown to love our church home here. It's diversity has been one of the most beautiful of any church we've seen. Services usually last about 2 hours. The first hour with the children in the service with you (always a challenge with our boys!) singing praise and worship, then for the second half, the sermon and kids have Sunday school.

Later, my sweet Aussie friend, Nikki came with Karen and I for afternoon high tea in the drawing room (balcony) at Carcosa Seri Negara, a colonial boutique Malaysian heritage hotel built in early 1900's for the British, in the Lake Gardens in KL.

Celebrated Nathan's birthday yet again! And, Paw Paw's birthday early.

Thailand May 2008

Boys faking sleep! "Being funny", says Nathan


Watching the Thai music in lobby

Funny face!

We flew the family to a resort in Phuket. Gorgeous hotel and weather. Nathan took circus lessons, both played in pool daily and we enjoyed some delicious Thai food. Fabulous!

circus school!

Singapore, May 2008

In April, Jason's parents, Glenn and Karen came to visit us for the last time in KL. They took a special trip to Singapore with Nathan and Jason to see the sights. Taking the duck tour of the city (a bus that goes on land and in the water!). Everyone enjoyed the trip!

Views of Singapore. The Smith's loved it! Nathan's second trip here- his favorite of course is the night safari! (below)

We're (Nathan and I) getting ready for one more trip there this weekend (June 24)!

Family Photos

We just had family photos taken today- by a sweet friend of mine, Nikki Wilson-- and wanted to post them right away! The boys were so excited this morning! Andrew was wound up and more interested in climbing up and down the stairs than having photos taken.  Nathan did a super job of trying to get his brother to pose for the camera!
