Hari Raya
For one month after Ramadan (the month of fasting), the Malay population celebrates a month of feasting. Since we live in a predominately Malay area, we were invited to many 'feasts'. On the day these photos were taken, we spent the day going from house to house eating some of the most terrific food I've ever eaten! One of our neighbors took us to the market to by traditional baju melayu for the boys and a baju korong for me. Such fun! Enjoy the pics!
Gotta brag about my baby nephews!
I've gained TWO new nephews since the move here! Now my total is EIGHT nephews!
Service project
I couldn't go, but Mike took this group to do a food distribution project with some of the international school students here in KL. Fun!
Jungle swimming
We spent a day with our neighbors in a jungle river last Saturday. We had a picnic and swam for hours. The boys loved it!
Catching up...starting with my sooprhero!
All is well here. I've neglected to keep pictures up on my blog. I'll try to update you...in photos and brief blurbs. There's a lot of catching up to do!

Where to pick up?
Hello to all - I'm not sure where to begin! Since our truck was stolen, it's been a whirlwind of events around here. I'll update you with bullets since it's the simplest.
1. Rachael came to help with the boys and work here :-)
2. Truck stolen, Szemi poisoned (but recovered and is well now) :-(
3. The day before our truck disappeared, our neighbor brought us a brand new baby kitten :-)
4. Baby kitten (Milo) needs fed a bottle every two hours and has a flesh eating fungus that can spread to other pets and people :-(
5. The end of her tail fell off due to the fungus, a toe is hanging, and nearly lost an ear :-(
6. We got our work permit!
7. Rental car broke down
8. Our wonderful landlord lent us his Mercedes :-)
9. It broke down twice :-(
10. We found a 'school' for Bennett! It's not a formal school, but even better for him...and me!
11. I got a car! It's a little SUV type-thing. Perfect for us.
12. Still waiting on insurance to settle so Mike can replace the truck.
13 TANNER IS COMING...TICKETS PURCHASED FOR AUGUST 16-29!!!
14. Bennett has continued to ride at the stables even with the chaos of having no cars...so happy about that!
15. Both boys are in piano and love it.
16. I finished my job in Laos - home study done, baby in their home, and almost a US citizen. Such a great feeling.
17. I have two new clients in Singapore and Indonesia and possibly Thailand...very nice.
18. Mike and I have had time alone with our boys safely and comfortably at home with Rachael!
19. Our stuff is here!
20. We unpacked and set up in less that four days...last job is to hang pictures.
I'll leave off here. I'll try to be more faithful to my blog. I miss you all! Here are a few pics of some random events in our last two months starting with Miss Milo.

Catching up...
A few pictures to catch you up! Our two months has been filled with much activity. In the midst of it we've managed to have some fun and even get a new kitty. Enjoy the pics. As you can see, Szemi is feeling much better!
