cleaning up my act

An image of the bed we left behind... I miss our apartment so much!  Especially now, when tomorrow friends are packing things up for us because our landlord sold our apartment out from underneath us.  That's Asia for you... things happen unexpectedly and you have next to no control over your life at any given moment.  Most days I handle it pretty well-- then there are times (like right now) when it leaves me close to tears.

I've been inspired by reading several blogs tonight of friends I thought I'd lost touch with... I've been totally absorbed in pictures of their husbands, families, children and lives... So much has happened in a few short years!  It's made me realize the value of a space like this, and I want to do a lot more on this blog.  Pictures say more than words ever can... I'm on my way to a new camera so we can do even more than we've been doing.  Stay tuned...

Well, the video upload still isn't working, which is such a bummer... but here are some photos of our family at a speaking thing we did last week, just sharing our story and stuff.  My camera is broken, but a kind lady who was there emailed us some pictures.  :)

visit from cousin Tom


Our cousin Tom Broughton visited a couple days ago, and got along really well with Will.  Will got quite a kick out of his beard.  :)

video problems & Will's first tooth

There's a couple videos I'm waiting to put on here, but Blogger is having trouble uploading any videos at the moment.  Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

In other news...
Will cut his first tooth!  I noticed it today, but it could have come through yesterday-- he only napped 20 minutes at a time all afternoon, and he was pretty fussy... and then he slept from 7pm to 7:45 this morning!  He must have been zonked.  What a trooper.
