While Michelle was back in Texas to be with family during her paternal grandfather’s funeral, Liberty and Van stayed in Chiang Mai with me. Michelle did an excellent job prepping the home-school materials for me so that the kids’ education could continue. Except for a first-day panic, the two weeks of home-schooling went really well. It gave me a much better appreciation for all the work Michelle has put into schooling Liberty and Van.

The kids and I took many fun rides on our rented scooter. Van would sit in the front and Liberty would sit on the back. One scooter highlight for the kids was the day we went to buy tinted visors for them. Too many times there were either bugs getting into their faces while we rode around. Or, the sun shone too brightly. You can see in the pics below they were quite excited, and we even bought some stickers for them to customize their helmets. When we weren’t driving around, we were still on the scooter, having a snack.

Even though we had an excellent time together, we all missed Mom a lot, and were very glad when she returned. Her time with her family was a real blessed time, and we wish we all could have gone. Thank you for your prayers during this time.
