twin towers in Kuala Lumpur...this is my friend marie holding up a paper doll...my flat nephew noah...he sends him to me and i take him around like a tourist :D and then send him back home


four ladies from salatiga went to KL for 4 days. we paid under $40 for a round trip ticket and drove around in this very tiny 4 door car...what a hoot!


i have always wanted a picture of this sign but don't offen carry my camera in the bathroom...but here it is..."for your safety, please do not squat on toilets" but alas there are always feet marks on the seat...ha!


our team...and extended team from bandung...got together for a weekend to enjoy each other.

Indo offers exotic


exotic kitties


these guys are a pretty penny cuz i guess they are using them in the fight against aids. if you can get one that is pretty large...they are worth $10,000 right now. we have one living in our roof and we are hoping he keeps growing...for another 10 years...



butterfly fish


exotic kids :D playing exotic bowling :D and yes...hazel really did win!


Gavin's birthday party #8


We try to start birthdays with a favorite breakfast...and they actually had fruity pebbles imported at the store! so this was considered a "present" as the cost was crazy! but they all love love love this cereal and its fun to watch the sugar rise in the morning...hahaha


and we typically throw confetti and that foam spray stuff at the person right when they wake up as well...it's become tradition thanks to our paul! we can't even see straight but we are partying!
and you might notice out our window...it's still dark...

after school we took all the kids in his class to the coolest pool in town and they lived it up

you can tell it's a bit cold...everyone is just a little chilly


shamu...the safe kind

Gavin's birthday party


The cake...for gavin the great...is number 8


The kids really enjoyed these new candles i found...probably not the safest things ever...as i think they are more in the category of fireworks! ha! but it was a show for all :D



a happy 8 year old


when you have hazel and paul...you won't have any problem getting your presents open within a couple of minutes...no matter how tough they are wrapped!

Kids crawling on one of the 7 wonders of the world...borobudur temple.


our whole group poses for a shot...so many indonesians were asking for our pictures that day so we decided to get our OWN done as well :D...and our friend Pak Agung is in this shot with us...he travels lots of places with us :D


Here is our friend Rob, he is interning here for several months...he is on his last days in indo


Paul's kindergarten class poses with flat "NOAH"...something my nieces and nephews have sent me in the past and still do...we enjoy takin flat Noah with us to different spots and getting pictures of where we live...and then we send it back to his classroom and they learn about the pictures and where we took him...sort of a vacation in a box...ha!


Kids got a new MP3 player with money for their birthdays
