Babe of a thousand faces…
Today marks the two-month-old birthday of Anna! One of the surprising things for me about parenthood is just how many hilarious faces kids make. It’s especially delightful with newborns because it’s just purely what they are feeling without artifice or pretense. These pictures are from this afternoon where she was particularly alert and expressive. But […]
Parenting is highly skilled labour
With Anna we have had so many beautiful and fun moments, little adventures, and great memories already. But there has also been probably even more crying, sleepless nights, misunderstandings, not realizing what is uncomfortable for her, and just being pretty clueless as a parent of how to help her sometimes. Recently, Jetaime has been […]
I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen
“I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.†― A.A. Milne There’s something about having a baby that brings us out of the usual and into the unusual. This weekend I was walking Anna around Jetaime’s parent’s place. Anna was wide-eyed and curious and I had a lot of fun introducing […]
An Unusual Game of Monopoly
Yesterday I won a game of Monopoly against my students and I felt like I was the worst player among them. I was really good, I stacked up on houses early on and made a ton of money in rent. When they couldn’t pay my rent they gave me their locations until I had the […]
Birthday with my parents
Thanks so much to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! It’s so fun being on the other side of the world because my birthday lasts like a day and a half ;). We met up with my parents in Bangkok tonight, they have had such an adventure in Thailand so far. You should […]
Soaking in Singapore
This is us after we braved a wet journey through the rapids of Jurassic Park! We barely made it out with our lives. It was quite the day. In the morning we helped transport the Allspark away from the decepticons. We trapped Imhotep and broke his curse, then learned about jobs from the […]
Our stay was in”tents”!
Jetaime and I had a much more successful go at camping the second time! Well, almost… As you can see our camping set up felt slightly inferior to these massive nylon mansions all around us. Some people brought bike racks and clothes lines and barbecues all for a few days of camping. But I […]
Polar bears and the desire of your heart
Have you ever had a desire in your heart and didn’t even prayer for it, but God answered the desire anyways? A few days ago we were going over the best things to do in Singapore. Most of them were super expensive but didn’t stand out as something we really felt we needed to […]
Kingdom Invasion Singapore
Jetaime and I have been going to the free night sessions at Kingdom Invasion Singapore this week. Bill Johnson, Heidi Baker, Randy Clark, Mahesh Chavda, and Lou Engle are the speakers. The presence of God has been so sweet and gentle in this place. Tonight, a couple hundred people were healed, many of very […]
The pros & cons of camping
Oh man, what a night! Haha, I’ve often told Jetaime how great and wonderful camping is, but last night was our very first time camping together. It wasn’t quite as wonderful as I had hoped for an introduction to camping. We stayed at the beautiful Pulau Ubin island off the coast of Singapore. We […]
