Well we made it!
That was a huge accomplishment for me. I know feel like I can move mountains after traveling 24 + hours with two kids. The kids did amazing and exceeded every expectation I had (my expectations included screaming kids for 24 + hours).
We arrived on Monday and have been trying to settle in and adjust to our new home. It is a little different to say the least but we are slowly taking it in...baby steps!
My friend Sam has been my travel buddy aka guardian angel, aka life saver, aka Jacks new best buddy! I could not have done it without her and I would hate to see what would have happened if I would not have had help...i'm invisioning world war 3 but possibly bloodier.
A little about my new home. Its hot, it's humid, its total chaos. But its also beautiful, the people are AMAZINGLY nice, and there is culture to be seen around every corner. I think it is going to be this constant balance struggle of me loving it and not so much loving it at the same time.
Our little Jane is a celebrity. I expect to see her face plastered all over Asian Facebook very soon. Everyone wants to kiss, hold, and take her picture. Jack on the other hand always has a grumpy face so they usually go for jolly miss jane!

Here are a few pics. I have been so bad about taking them but I promise I will get better.
Riding the elephant!
The royal palace gates
National muesem
A very common occurance. People clamering all over the babies. Can you say hand sanitizer!
Love and miss you all. Please keep in touch and leave your email if you think I don't have it.
