Some recent pics of us

Self-defense & Fun

The next clip is taken from several different days from the last month or so. As you can see JD is holding his own with his older sisters. He has figured out the "Achilles heel" of his big sisters...it's the hair! The second part of the clip is just us having some everyday fun. My apologies for the quality of the video. The lighting in our living room is not great.

Our little helper

Ellie loves to help out in the kitchen. Here she is helping mommy snap green beans and shuck corn.

Bicycle lessons

Here is Agung, our driver/handyman, and JD. I just walked out into the garage and caught him giving JD a lesson. As you can see, he is great with our kids.

Little momma

MG is wearing a traditional shawl called a selendang that is used to carry pretty much anything, including kids. She spent much of her toddlerhood in one and now she is doing the same for her baby doll.

Dolphin show

Here are some pictures of an aquatic show that made it's way to Surabaya. It was held, of course, in a supermarket parking lot. We saw a sea lion, otters, and two high flying dolphins. The first picture here is of Ellie and a couple of her friends at the show.

JD & Ellie

Poor kid

While Ellie was making herself a necklace, she thought it would be fun to decorate her little brother...

Whiz kid

Here is Ellie in her Whiz kids uniform at her first day at play group. She goes three days a week and absolutely loves it!
