Our buddy, Buddy
We've been having fun dog-sitting for our friend Ben during his three week visit to the States. Claire absolutely loves Buddy and wishes we could keep her already. She likes taking her on walks down our soi in the evening and it's funny to see this tiny dog practically dragging Claire on the leash. Buddy is such a puppy- very active, jumps a lot, and has an incredible amount of energy. She's already found a favorite plant to chew and loves to chase a yellow ball. Eliza is a mixture of terrified and fascinated by her. She theoretically "likes" Buddy, but mainly if Buddy is tied up far away from her. :) She especially doesn't enjoy being jumped on, but we're hoping this will help with her dog phobia.

Today we saw this friendly furniture seller with his cart near our house. We've been looking for something to sit on our front veranda/porch/patio and settled on this bench (very Thai looking in style). Delivery was pretty handy.
And just because I think she's so cute....my girl before church on Sunday, doing her very pretty wai......
We are having a busy week trying to get all our work done planning and teaching before Tom's parents come to visit. ONLY 4 MORE DAYS!!!

Enjoy your family in the weeks ahead! Claire, I really like the picture of you in the pink dress. You look very pretty! Eliza, my favorite one of you is the one with the big, red dot on your shirt. I like the way you pose for your pictures. You are very pretty too! Granddaddy Rhodes

With the those eyes on Buddy I don't think that would help me get over dog phobia. (:

Hi Candice and Family! Thanks for your comment on my un updated site! I just haven't been making it a priority I suppose! BUt since I love hearing about your life I should update mine just for you!! We have Greg's family visiting us right now, but I can only imagine how you must feel getting grandparents /mom & dad coming for a visit! I hope it's all you're dreaming it will be! I just love your attitude about living so far from family doing what God has called you to do. May He continue to give you GRACE! We've been busy, or at least I feel I'm busy! HE HE. I've been doing lots of photo shoots and see your pictures and all those BEAUTIFUL flowers and greenery and think HOW FUN!! My new photo website is just www.portraitsbysharla.com I try to mention when it's my children in an album. The one marked, "my sweety" is a few of my baby...sniff...she's all of 17mo. !!! Fall is in the air and we were scrounging around for jeans to wear tonight when we went out for supper. Are you all entering a warm or cold season? Or doesn't it change much? Claire's cute sundress I suppose means it's still hot!! I will run along now and leave space for someone else to comment!! Love, Sharla
