Back in Jakarta

Well, we survived our trip back to Texas and are now back in Jakarta.  The kids did amazingly well on the trip.  We got lots of positive comments from other passengers about how well-behaved the kids were.  Mommy is very proud. It literally took us 2 whole days to get back to Jakarta.  There was no crying, tantrums, or meltdowns.  The kids really enjoy traveling.

We had a great time in Texas visiting family and friends.  It was a fast and furious trip to try and see as many people as we could.  We literally put a good 1500 miles on our Mazda 5 in the 2.5 weeks we were in Texas.  Sadly, we still missed seeing some of our dear friends and family.  Mommy thinks that maybe next year she might consider bringing the kids for the whole 2 months of summer vacation.  We'll see.

We are happy to be back in our apartment.  Mommy is looking forward to not traveling for a little while.  We will try and enjoy what is left of our summer vacation.  School starts in 1.5 weeks! 

Our world travelers!

Ready

We are getting ready to go back to Texas for a couple of weeks.  Guess what we found at the store this week...Dr. Pepper!  The kids were so excited.  Nothing like a nice cold can of Dr. Pepper to remind you of Texas :)

Mommy also got out the suitcases yesterday so she could start packing.  Look who fell asleep in the suitcase...guess Audrey is really ready to head back to the Lone Star State!

Too bad Mommy and Daddy can't just put the kids in checked luggage...ha ha.  We are excited about heading back for a visit, but Mommy is not excited about all the long layovers.  Hopefully the 3 little munchkins do well.  We've flown alot, but we've never had 7 and 9 hour layovers before.  Our 25 hr. trip is now going to take closer to 40+ hrs...should be interesting! 

Conversation With Audrey

We are leaving this coming saturday to fly back to the US for a 3-week visit.  Mommy was talking with Audrey and this is how the conversation went.

Audrey:  When I go to Texas, I am NOT coming back to Indonesia.
Mommy:  Why do you want to stay in Texas?
Audrey:  Because Texas is so beautiful!

Ha ha...spoken like a true Texan. 


We are all very excited about coming back to the US.  We have lots of exciting events.  Daddy's sister is expecting a new baby any day now so the kids will have a new cousin.  Also, one of their cousins is getting baptized later this month.  We are all very excited about being back in Texas!
