home sweet home





We just got home from our fabulous trip to Indonesia. It was the longest trip that I have ever taken, and we almost adjusted to being home. I am slowly going through the loads of laundry and Simon is sorting through our few thousand pictures. It is amazing how kids can develop so much in three weeks. Auburn turned three and is now in the "why?" stage. Conley found his little voice, his vocabulary more than tripled on our trip (he is now at about 40 words).




We wandered through rice paddies, watched the sunrise over a volcano, walked around an entire island in a day, saw incredible ruins and temples, relaxed at the beach and had a wonderful time together as a family. I'll post more pictures and details about our trip later when I sort through it all. Until then, here is a little photo of our adorable kids playing at the beach

It was interesting to see the differences at each sight.  The kids had their favorites by the end of the trip.  We also taught them a little bit about Mayan culture. Edzna   These well preserved carvings were great.       Palanque These were probably my favorite ruins.  It is set in the jungle and it felt very peaceful there. It is hard to believe that only 10 percent of the structures are actually uncovered.  The rest are still covered by the jungle. some well preserved carvings waterfalls in the middle of the ruins The Palace   Temple of Inscription   The kids had a great time climbing up and exploring...
