It is cloudy today and Bangkok, and I love it! I love wind blowing, the comforting feeling of the clouds all around, and the break from the heat! When I rode a bike down to Seven Eleven, it felt so nice...not my usual hot, sweaty and ready-to-get back home bike ride!
It was so nice to see the comments from Rissa, Shaina and Casey. Every since I started the blog last week I have had blogging woes...the computers wouldn't show any blogspots for days, then on again and off again, and then I couldn't figure out how to see things in English...I'm afraid I don't read Thai...
Anyway, I think I will be able to get this posted today, and I am grateful!
This has been a most unusual summer with Isaac's appendectomy adventure, and the girls American adventure! Tonight, Isaac has four friends over to spend the night...I don't believe we have ever had this many boys at one time. For some reason, with the girls being older, and Bethany and Mari always being around, I am used to girl things. So, having a house full of boys and hearing them argue over Lord of the Rings RISK and run out and shoot bb guns at moniter lizards is most unusual. I had each boy name a thanks before they ate their pizza tonight, and Ben said he wasn't trying to say that he was glad that Isaac had appendix trouble, but he was thankful that it had resulted in more time with Isaac. That is true--I would never let Isaac have had so much free time just to play without the excuse of being Surgery Boy and recovering. I am thankful some good has come from this and the boys are having fun!
It was good that Philip and the girls were able to Skype in before going with GrandMom to visit Toccoa Falls and North Greenville today. I pray that they will have a special time together, and also that these visits would be a good start for the girls in thinking about their futures. I know it will all come much faster than we want!
Thankful for a house full of boys,
For family taking such good care of Philip and the girls,
for blogs, e-mails, skypes, webcams, and all those communication-promoting technical things that I don't understand very well, but am very grateful for,
Sheila

We had a good day here. Shaina said almost ewverything I wanted 2 say (of course without praising M.C., there is nothing good about them.... they think they are wonderful - proving their extereme, annoying pride - and only us intelligent F/O.C. can see their faults....... well I guess Y.C. can see their bossiness.........555+)

Glad you have enjoyed cooler weather.
Gerald and I had a great time throwing the frisbee for about 30 minutes yesterday. The weather here has been good.
I'm thankful for communication tools as well - it has been encouraging to be able to skype you.
I can't believe Isaac is so crazy!
The girls are up so I'll go.
See you next week!
