Temporarily Unavailable

We are just finishing up our 7 week homeleave back in the United States and have been so busy that I just haven't had time to blog. But have no fear!  I will be "back in action" and home in just five days so I will be back to my blogging self. So sit back. Hold on tight. The show is about to begin. I am sure the next year will be full of adventures and lots of interesting things to share.

More soon! 

Blogger MIA

Sorry I have been quiet the past three weeks.  First,  I had to brace myself for a 25 day winter break with the kids. International schools tend to have longer winter breaks to allow for traveling and people to return home to their home countries. The first half of school has been very intense, especially for Chris and Emily, so they were more than ready for a break from school. And while I was excited for a few weeks without the daily grind of homework, 25 days is a wee bit long –– for everyone.  Let's just say I think the kids are ready for go back next Tuesday.

Our family used the long break to take a 10 day trip to Southern Vietnam. Don't worry I will be blogging more about our trip in the next week. It was a really cultural, eye-opening vacation to say the least. And we had an amazing time, up until 22 hours before we were supposed to board an airplane and make the trek home. I decided to really experience Vietnam one last time and make a trip to a small island hospital for some stitches in my knee.

Needless to say, I have spent most of my time the past week in a chair with my leg propped up. You would think with all the time in world I would have had plenty of time to blog, but instead I have spent the past week watching every poorly made movie and cheesy TV show known to man. (Note to self: Send letter to Hollywood addressing the issue of just how bad TV and the big screen have become)

So hang tight. I will be back in action soon, with some really great entries. I promise.

Yes, I am still alive

Wow... it has been almost a month since my last blog entry. The past few weeks have been insane, but things are slowing down.  We took our week vacation to Vietnam (don't worry, I will be blogging all about it in the new few days. It was amazing!), one of my close friends came from America for a week visit (woot woot!), yesterday was Canadian Academy's International Food Day (I am breathing a big sigh of relief now that it is over), and now my husband's best friend is visiting.

I have taken over 1000 pictures the past 3 weeks, so be prepared for some heavy blogging coming up. And with all this going on, there is bound to be a "stupid move by Alexis" in there a time or two.

Yes We Made It

We made it to the US safe and sound. Sorry I haven't blogged the past almost 2 weeks. Between massive jet lag, a beach vacation, catching up with friends, managing the kids myself and living out of suitcases I haven't found any time to blog.

But, Matt just boarded a plane and will be here tomorrow night. I told him he was my designated hitter and it was his turn with the kids for a few days. So hopefully once he is a bit less jet lagged, I will have time to catch everyone up on what all we have been up to. Maybe even load a few digital camcorders video on here.

I promise I will get to your blogs too. Sorry I have been such a bad blogger and commenter lately.
