At 9, Ria looks bigger than her age.. acts and thinks like an adult, too. I feel like the challenge of parenting a teen has begun– but quite a bit early. Sigh. But anyways, I love talking things with Ria. She questions a lot, and she has deep understanding of things.
I am happy that she reads her Bible every night and has deep compassion for people. One night she reminded me of our “ladies’ night out” which was talked about months before but has never been materialized. Long overdue, so we had to go out.
Our night out was just spent walking around the night market sipping my cold coffee from DQ while she happily feasted on her chocolate ice cream. Nothing spectacular about that evening but we held hands all the time.
Ria’s love languages are TOUCH and WORDS– same as mine, so I don’t have a problem filling her “love tank”– but somehow something tells me we should have this girls’ night out thing more often.
Do you date with your kids? 
Try it sometime..

Our family was blessed to have an unexpected but rather short vacation. My uncle and his family came to Bangkok for a holiday and before they could make use of their one week hotel stay, they had to go to Phuket, an island in the South. Since the room was already paid for, we were given the privilege of staying there for two days– FOR FREE!
the kids and I swam in the pool. Hubby could not join in because of his ear problems. It’s good that we have an official photographer, though!
this is the pool, overlooking the city. Beautiful!
there was even a little play pen where the kids could play right by the poolside.
the living room. i love those shades of blue and orange!

the kids had their own room, too!
our room- yay! what a treat…

Sadly, good days have an end but we went home grateful for this pleasant surprise! Our family posed at the lobby while waiting for our taxi.

Do you remember Bravey? Well. I thought it might be cute to share with you how he looks like now, after a year!
That’s Bravey with his friend, Rainney. They are both wearing “mama’s bumpy things”– my 5-year old Roi’s term for my bra.
Bravey– looking great!
Rainney’s got the looks too!
The good thing about this is they chose my newest bras– otherwise I would not have the guts to share the photos! LOL! Funny how kids can be so creative sometimes, eh?
