The boys and I went to have our hair washed today. It was $1.20 for me, and 60 cents each for them.

The awesome hair stylin’ is complimentary.
Jobes looked handsome.

Deeds got a wet shirt.

Jobes said that I looked “like a DJ”.
He didn’t know how to express “from the 1980’s”

Look at that height! Thanks, hair lady!

Even after 9 years in Laos, I can still say that it is relatively “off the map”. In Luang Prabang, in Pakse, and yes, even [...]

Why? Because I have been to Thailand more than 30 times in the past 6 years. Not to mention [...]

Enjoy a tour of Patuxay, the Victory Arch (or Victory Monument or Victory Gate, depending on who you ask).
Patuxay is one of my favorite sites to visit in Vientiane, Laos.
It has some interesting “urban legends” connected to it, but I think it is more polite not to post about those.
I hope you like Webisode 3! [...]

Today, for Photo Friday (hosted at Delicious Baby), I thought I would share a picture from the time we decided to do family portraits at the local wat. It was fun, but hot. We got lots of neat pictures that day.

Which monk is the cutest?

Jojo’s 4th birthday is on Saturday, so today (with permission) we went to his school to celebrate.

When we arrived, the teacher was having the children make birthday cards for Jojo. I was impressed!

I brought snacks for Jojo to [...]
