tough news from home...

i received an email today, from my dad, saying he had been in a motorcycle accident and has four broken ribs and lots of scrapes and bruises. so, if you know him, take care of him for me! i know he'll hate me saying that but i love him and he needs to know others do as well. i wish i could be there and i know i couldn't do much but i'm missing a year of time with him and that's bad enough. i wonder when he'll be back in the saddle and scaring the guts out of me again... grrrrrrrr.
GET WELL DAD!!!! SO grateful that you're still with us!

enough before i start crying. school is good. the short week is almost over. tomorrow we take the boys to the ZOO! they are as excited as am i. i guess i hadn't considered that bangkok would have a zoo. wouldn't it be funny if they have "exotic" animals only found in America? what would they be? bunnies? wolves? dairy cows? squirrels? whitetail deer? grizzly bears? moose/meese? buffalo? i'll let you know what i see.

still working hard to teach the boys discipline and commands in english. they are a squirmy bunch. THANKS to angela for the suggestion (in the comments of the last blog post), you know i'm going to use it!!! i'll confirm the pronunciation with my thai language teacher (pee dao, her name is dao and she is my elder, so i must call her "pee" dao). we've learned all kinds of useful words and phrases to help us in every day life. we learned all about their money and how to say "how much" yesterday. it's coming in handy!!!

i guess we have a meeting about our bank accounts... so i better get going.

much love!! MISS YOU ALL! take care of DAD !!!!! :-(

more soon :-)
