bangkok follies [mary & jim in cambodia part 2]

[cedar learned several letters & lots of fun songs after spending so much time with grandpa jim & grandma mary in bangkok .  it pays to have kindergarten teachers as grandparents!]

waiting [bangkok days]

[bangkok: the view from the roof of our apartment]

in mid-august we packed up our bags & transported our little family to bangkok to wait for the arrival of our new baby.

after a few hectic months (moving our office, moving into a new apartment ourselves, new leadership at mcc, deciding to extend our contract in cambodia) bangkok has been a welcome breath of fresh air.  we love living in phnom penh, but have really appreciated the quiet family time, sidewalks, public parks, & wide variety of food we've found in bangkok.

here are some snapshots of how we've been filling our bangkok days.

[cedar cannot get enough of the parks & playgrounds]

[delicious street food - pad thai & mango sticky rice]

[eating fresh with some north american comfort foods]

[& a little bit of t'ai chi to round out the day]
