USA TRIP 2013

So it has been a year since we have been stateside and I think to sum it up we were excited to head back and see everyone! We had a fabulous 6 weeks stateside (Lenny was only there three)and saw everyone we could as well as shopped as MUCH as we could. You really take for granted how CHEAP everything is until you don't have it anymore. We had made a list of what we wanted to purchase and I think we accomplished it and then SOME! Our itinerary was as follows:
Beginning of June - Fly from Singapore to Seoul, Korea to Atlanta, Georgia USA
Middle of June - Fly from Atlanta, GA to St. Louis, MO for Ashley Semore Laurentius's wedding (girls were flower girls)
- Fly from St. Louis, MO via Atlanta, GA to Fort Lauderdale, FL - visit with Lenny's parents and grandparents
End of June - Drive from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Port St. Lucie, FL - visit with Heidi's parents and grandmother
- Lenny fly back to Singapore (West Palm Beach to Atlanta to Seoul to Singapore)....a LONG FEW DAYS!
Mid July - Heidi and girls fly back to Singapore ALONE (West Palm Beach to Atlanta to Seoul to Singapore)....a REALLY LONG FEW DAYS!

Alas, we are all back home and things are back in full swing! Here are some snip-its from our trip! A HUGE shout out to Kristin for taking my ENTIRE family in for 5 days....a girl can't ask just ANYONE that favor....always good to have LIFE LONG FRIENDS!

A little stop over in Seoul, Korea:

A little visit with some GREAT friends - these are some of my parents best friends who haven't been in the best of health. I was so glad to catch up with them!

Great time at Ashley and Jonathan's wedding....it couldn't have been more perfect!

A little CHEAP Mexican never hurt anyone - or a trip to Barbie Dream House!

Barbie Dream House!

A little Levy family photo!

A little Schwartz family time!

And don't forget the cousins!

We had a great time stateside and look forward to our next trip....whenever that will be!!! :)

Bali, Indonesia May 2013

We are still alive here in Singapore!!! My computer crashed so I haven't updated our blog in a LONG time!! But thanks to Pop Pop and Grammi - we are back in business as they gave us their computer!!! SO.....way back when - IN MAY - we went on a family vacation to Bali, Indonesia. It was a gorgeous trip with lots of memories made!!

Here is our trip in pictures as we saw so MUCH and it was SO LONG AGO.....

Cheers -

Ansley Got Her Ears Pierced!

The day came when Ansley FINALLY asked - can I get my ears pierced? I said sure - as long as you understand the following (ps. these were the same rules Hannah had to follow too):

1. You have to ask

2. You understand that it's GOING TO HURT

3. You get one ear done - you get the OTHER ear done

So Monday, April 22, 2013 we headed off after school to B'Dazzled at Wisma Atria (every expat blog I read said to go here) to get the said mission accomplished. After 20,000 questions about EVERYTHING - we have cute PINK earrings she picked out herself!



Reminder - these pics were taken DIRECTLY after said task was accomplished. She cried a little....but was a big trooper about it! They did them both at the same time - which I would HIGHLY recommend!
