About 2 weeks ago, our family took a trip to KL, Malaysia. Just about everyone we talked to mentioned the plane from KL that has “disappeared” just a week earlier than our trip. We weren’t nervous though – in the Father’s hands and His timing. The kids did beautifully on the flight there. It only […]
My friend took me out one Saturday, after the kids went to bed, to this great traditional/historical/tourist-y place! I loved it! Just everything about it was so fun and interesting.

Somehow though (maybe because she only speaks Chinese and communication is difficult), Kylie hasn’t quite taken to her […]
