First Day of School

This has been one of those weeks that Busyness hid around the corner, jumped out, and put me in a headlock for three days.
The first day of school for the boys was also my first day of teaching for the school year…in fact, Deeds is in my class!
Jojo loves being a Kindergartener and is trying [...]

Haircuts

My boys had long and lovely locks.

Jojo asked for a haircut to get his bangs out of his eyes and Deeds was starting to have trouble eating and stuff because when he leaned his head forward, hair would fall in his face.
So. I gave in.

Both of them put on a brave face but [...]

Jojo is a huge fan of "adventure".
Inspired by Indiana Jones, he would love to be some kind of rugged scientist.
BACKYARD SAFARI™OUTFITTERS makes toy "essential field gear" for outdoor fun.
They are toys, but made last, fully functional, and made for action.
5-year-old Jojo was thrilled to check out the Backyard Safari Megaview Periscope, Backyard [...]

Easter On the Mekong 2010

I have been an expat for 8 years now, all of them in Asia.
When I first moved abroad, I felt homesick most keenly during the holidays.
However, now I actually am thankful to not be faced by the stresses that holidays bring in the country of my birth.
For Easter, I didn’t give a thought to [...]

Wordful Wednesday: Straight Up

I have a duty to my family.
Just moments ago, hubs questioned the relevancy of my sweet dance moves as I was jamming to the LeapFrog Fridge DJ rendition of Old MacDonald.
But I ask you: Did I not promise the funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk?
I have to pass the torch [...]

Jojo: Trouble At School

Yazan: CanCan | 19 March 2010 | 9 Comments
Categories: CanCan, Jojo

Jojo is a very enthusiastic, high-energy 5-year-old.
Currently he loves Lego, Indiana Jones, insects, and the idea of creating his own language and civilization.
That last interest came from his admiration and enjoyment of a picture book called Weslandia, in which a social-outcast boy named Wes creates his own society as a summer project.
Because of his [...]

Climbing the Walls

Jojo is still really into Indiana Jones, and he likes the idea of going on “baventures” (adventures).
When we were at Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island, Bahamas, he saw the climbing wall and I asked him if he wanted to give it a try.
Of course he did! And it got me out of [...]

Beach Baby

It is hard to believe that just two short weeks ago I was on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, enjoying time with Jojo on the beach.
The scenery was beautiful, and the water was very cold!
Undaunted, Jojo played and frolicked in the surf and the sand.
The water was gorgeously clear. I can’t enjoy myself in [...]

Atlantis Resort public relations emailed me, and it turns out that they did have a few more pictures from our shallow water dolphin encounter!
Jojo tossing a fish to Atlas, me squinting.

Me, still squinting, tossing a fish to Atlas. I’m not grumpy, I just hadn’t slept in about 28 hours.

Dolphin hug!

Squinting together! I bet the dolphin [...]

Hugging Dolphins at Atlantis Resort

Jojo and I got to experience the Shallow Water Dolphin Encounter at Atlantis Resort, Paradise Island, Bahamas.
We got to pet the dolphin and even hug and kiss it. Truthfully I passed on the kisses, but Jojo had stars in his eyes.
We suited up in Atlantis Resort wet suits, and Jojo started being a dolphin himself, [...]
