Moore pictures

























Here are a couple more photos from our area. Take a good look at the pictures on the street. Do yo see all the power lines? An electricians nightmare!!! What do you think dad can you come over and show them how its done? Its a big part of Thai culture to remain calm and not show extreme emotions and the boys and I figured out why today. Its to freakin hot to get all worked up about anything here.






I have taken a lot of taxi rides since we have been here. Let me just tell you they don't so much appreciate it when you scream out "oh my God!!! or "Sweet Jesus I am going to die". I sit in the back now and try deep breathing. I do have a fear of hyperventilating and waking up in some strange place. Another technique I am using to help is I bring my Ipod everywhere I go. Seems to help with the boys around. They know I can't hear them so why talk to mommy!? The boys and I were in the store the other day and just at my breaking point with trying to get around and figure out what we can and can't eat and the boys pulling on me trying to show me all the cool things just on the verge of losing it , and a girl walked by me with a t-shirt on that said "take a deep breath" I did just that and things got a lot better. I am so far out of my comfort zone its almost comical. I really like it here so far and I am anxious to get the boys off to school so I can explore a little on my own and get better equipped to take them around.





We did look at the other school today and all 6 of us came to the same conclusion. They will all be attending ISB. http://www.isb.ac.th/




Glad that decision is over!!

August says he likes the vendors on the street and is wondering is the Pad Thai is really good like it is here. He says he misses Keegan and hopes he is having an excellent time.

Sharon says COOL. I want to come and visit, I bet even the air smells different. I love your Moore Adventures in Thailand web-site idea. Keep it up please..

Wow, your place looks awesome. And when your dad gets over there to take care of those pesky overhead electrical wires, that will look great too!! :-)
