I had to post this b/c it was too funny...the mani/pedi guy put on a head light to do my nails and then whipped out a hand fan from his pocket to dry my nails. He did an amazing job!


Peter and Kai playing in the sand in front of our hotel.


Time for a nap!

We were waiting out the rain so that we could go to monkey forest....
Kai decided it would be fun to play in the heavy rain...just like the shower, right?



This pamphlet says that there are monkeys around here...

Akina and Other December Events

Time has flown through Nov, Dec and now its almost the end of the year!!!
Fancy Nancy came to visit, play and help with Kai and Akina (Nanny 911 is her new name). Kai is such a well behaved little boy! He really LOVES his sister and gives her hugs every time he notices her (even when she's sleeping and I want her to stay sleeping). Carol came the first week of December for a fun visit. We are getting the hang of life with two babies....lots of work, but they are so funny and so cute!!! We had a visit to Santa and then attempted to take some pictures. Who knew it was nearly impossible to get everyone looking normal in one photo?!
We leave for Bali on Monday---Yeah!!! Merry Christmas to everyone! We love and miss you!!!




A gift from Peter's staff....
It says Akina in Kanji with her birth date, height and weight.

Two very handsome young men!!

Watch Out Ladies!!!!

Kai wouldn't let Nana wave to the characters during the parade...he kept holding her hands down when she waved. "Please don't draw any attention to us Nana"


Akina has a really strong neck and can hold it up for quite a while!

Akina 5 weeks

Akina 4 weeks ----Look at those cheeks!
