We've been in Chiang Mai, Thailand for almost two weeks now waiting for baby #3, essentially on vacation. We've been trying to be good about taking pics, but when you're in lazy vacation mode, it's easy to forget to take the camera out with you. Anyway, the first week wasn't so lazy, as we had to apply for new Canadian passports for Anita, Callie, & Zane. That was a bit crazy trying to get our pictures taken according to the strict Canadian standards and getting all our paperwork together for those, which took about our first four days here. Since we got that done, we've done a lot of things just for play. Here are a few pics below to share from this time so far.
Callie & Zane riding in a van - notice C's arm around Z, and that was without any prompting! Either this or a red pick-up truck with bench seats in the truckbed with a roof on top, are our two main modes of transportation. And no, they don't provide child safety seats!
The ball pit has been a staple of kid fun, both in our city where we normally live, and here in Chiang Mai. Less than a dollar a visit.
Both borrowed, Anita managed to locate matching clothes for her and her boy! Don't tell him it's not cool to match your mom. He'll figure that out one day, but it's pretty cute for now though.
With the place we're staying (called The Juniper Tree) being a retreat center of sorts, there aren't a lot of luxuries. One of those luxuries we miss is that of a bathtub. They were kind enough however to provide these baby baths for the kids. We just put them in the shower side by side and bathe them like this. When baby #3 comes along, we'll probably just bathe him in the sink.
Callie & Zane sure have been enjoying the pool. Callie can be timid at times, just like her parents were at her age. Zane just goes with the flow for the most part.
Yesterday we hit up the local bowling alley, which had bumpers for the children. We actually went with two other couples that we've met since being here who are in Chiang Mai for the same reason as us, to have a baby. It's crazy, but maybe that bowling got something moving b/c one of the other moms with us went into labor last night after the bowling and had her baby 2 weeks early! Nothing like that happened for Anita though. Whew...
Last but not least, here is a pic of Anita from yesterday, about 8.5 months exactly. We'll do our best to continue to keep you updated.
