Ho Chi Mama: Adventures of a VietMOM

In Vietnamese the word "ma" has six different meanings depending on the tone you use. It can mean phantom, but, rice seedling, mother, tomb or horse. Does that mean "Mama" has thirty-six different possibilities? One day I could be a "phantom rice seedling" and then a "horse tomb" the next. With three kids and a husband in tow, this mama is headed for a hot and steamy Asian adventure on the South China Sea. Mastering Vietnamese is bound to be just one of our many challenges.

Bangkok Birthday

Happy seventh birthday Nolan!

It was a day of all things American to celebrate big #7.

Coconut cake for breakfast in bed

Bowling...

A 3D IMAX movie...
Why anyone would think it necessary to make "Mars
Needs Moms"into a 3D IMAX feature is beyond me!

Lounging in the love seat...

An English bookstore with millions of books!

Ice cream sundaes at Swensen's

Nolan, that 7 year-old smile is as beautiful as the six-year old one. It makes us feel sooooo happy when we see it. Happy Birthday.
