October in Review

October was a crazy busy month! Dad was gone every other week to various meetings, visiting Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.  And in between he was more often than not out of commission in exhaustion recovery and/or sick... with the cold that we just could not get rid of, passing it 'round and 'round.  Hopefully we are truly clear of it now though.

Other little things kept happening that just made the going a bit tougher... like Aiden managing to get 10 seconds alone with Dad's Padfone and smashing the screen to the point it was useless - right before one of those trips away.

 Or Jasmin sliding super fast down a playground pole, complaining off and on all week about her foot hurting, and so getting the adventure of foot x-rays (noting fractured, just bruised and sprained).  She got to keep the film and is pretty proud of it :)



So, by the time the final meeting at the end of the month, we were all really glad to be all going to Bangkok together!

We went up by train a few days early, and got to spend some time together as a family, visiting old haunts and reconnecting with friends.















Other October things...
Grace sang in a children's choir for a school chapel service (unfortunately I can't get the video to upload in this post)
Jasmin got invited to join a violin-cello ensemble for a Christmas preformance
Aiden discovered that Dad's wallet is more fun than Mom's... even to being an insistent pocket picker
We took a long overdue family picture update

Phew! Ready for the promised rest of November...
