Aiden and I played hide-and-go-seek in the hotel room and he loved it when I "hid" on the bed and he could pull himself up and "find" me!

So I finally got a pic of Aiden's top teeth!

Here's my first attempt to get a pic of Aiden's top teeth. His expression is so funny I just wanted to share it with you!

Here's Aiden's little mess. He found out that toilet paper is lots of fun to tear up!

Here is the beautiful Thai building on the resort. It is all teak wood and most of it is open to the outside.

Here's Aiden and Josh enjoying the swing. Right after this picture, I was using the video camera and I caught Aiden's first wave! He is sure growing up.

Here is the building that our room was in. The front of the building is a traditional Thai-style building.

Aiden and I at the resort. You can see the ricefields in the background. The lighting makes it look fake because we had to turn the flash on, but I promise it is a real background!

Here's Aiden climbing. He insists on climbing on top of his walker so we have had to put it away when he is not being fed or running around outside.

Here's Ryan painting.

Here's Josh painting. You can't tell.. but his shorts and shirt are pink-toned because I washed them with the wrong thing. :) Sorry sweetheart!

Here's the guys painting the building we live in. The first window on the first floor is Josh's and my window. Anyway, our building is beu-tiful now and I think we will call it the "Mariott."

Hi!
Josh and I had a great anniversary trip. We went to a nearby town and stayed at a resort (nice hotel on some land). We walked into town to grab stuff to eat and pretty much just enjoyed each other's company and talked a lot! Aiden is getting his 5th tooth but it is much easier than his last 4 teeth. Here's hoping that all the future teeth are nice and easy.

Josh and Ryan are off on a mobile clinic this weekend. I look forward to hearing how it went and seeing their pictures. They are at an Akha village and that is a people group I have not had a chance to "meet" yet. Apparently, the church is pretty strong in the Akha people group and they have an evangelist who is a second generation Christian and was sent to the US for Bible School. That is the man that organized the clinic they are doing this weekend. Please pray for them!

Meanwhile, I baked a cake with Saing today. What fun! Ovens are not standard fare among the people who live here so she had never done that before. Unfortunately, Josh has the digital camera so I won't be able to post the beautiful pictures. I did take 35mm pics though! :)

Ok, I will stop typing and start posting the pictures. Enjoy!

Well, our Blogging has slown down considerably but it doesn't seem that our life has. The college girls that were here for the summer have gone back to the States and are probably sleeping off jet lag as I type this. I miss them and Aiden misses them too. Not that we will be here much longer. I was reminding Josh yesterday that next week is the last full week that he has here at the clinic.... amazing. Despite all the changes and some difficulties, it has really begun to feel like HOME here. I do hope that God brings us back. Josh and I will be dissappearing for a few nights while we celebrate our 3 year anniversary (July 28). Wow, 3 years married to an amazing man. God has richly blessed me indeed. This weekend Josh and Ryan are going with Dr. Tom to a very small village (14 families or so) for a mobile clinic. Your prayers for their travel and ministry would be very appreciated. After that we have our aforementioned "last full week," then we have part of a week, a flight to Hong Kong, a bit of time there taking advantage to see a place we have never seen, and then our flight back to Dallas.

Latest news in Aiden's world is that he is a monkey! He has climed up on top of his walker, climed off a tall bed, tried to climb stacked chairs, and I am sure his climbing adventures have only begun.

Well, I am off for now. It may be a while before you see another post on this blog. Then again, miracles do happen and Ryan may actually blog while we are gone. *laugh*
