Learning Thai

I was really glad for any grown-up company I could get this week. Aside from my lovely friend Chaweewan who you met in the last post, here are a few others who stopped by...

My friend/tutor Ju came over one night bringing us dinner- crab fried rice, omlettes, and...

Donuts! This was before Eliza stomach bug. By the way, she is doing great now. She's done with her antibiotics and feeling great.

We put music on for the kids to dance to and read books to them and Ju and I got caught up. I was so happy for the company!

Uncle Seri spent time over here this week too- he always brings an orange or two to feed Silas and sits and talks or cleans up in the yard. Silas likes to hang out with him.

Ulai and Seri also came over this week to harvest bananas and cut down another banana tree. Doing pretty well for their age, wouldn't you say?? :) (Ulai chopped down the tree with a machete).

Silas inspects the harvest. (why yes, that IS spit out banana on his outfit)

Colleen, our team mate, is also back safely as of yesterday from her 5 weeks of English teacher training. She's coming over this morning for bagels. I'm glad to have my friend back!

Thankful for grown-up visitors this week! Looking forward to Tom and Claire's return tomorrow night. The English camp is going well and Tom is helping in a variety of ways- mostly translation and helping come up with games and activities when plans need adjusting. Yesterday afternoon, they had a little fun outing to a hot springs.
In bad news, Claire was bitten by a dog and had to go to the clinic for rabies vaccine. The dog was a pet and healthy but they did the shot as a precaution. The wound isn't too bad and she told me "she learned a lesson" about picking on dogs. Poor girl. I'm sure they will be telling you more about their adventures here on the blog soon.
