Bangkok Week 795 — Mika's Photos

Lucy turns 1 1/2 this week - where has the time gone!? Lucy, Arlo, and Dad are still battling a cold; but Arlo’s well enough to go to school and swimming. The house is coming along; they’re definitely at the point of “rebuilding” now. We visit the farm for the first time in months — fun for everyone! Oh, and our fallen cactus has bounced back surprisingly well! 🌵

Off to school - last day of the week!

Taking on his new 120+ piece puzzles.

Helping herself to rice for dinner, direct from the source.

It's not only Arlo who's into taking photos with my phone now.

Lucy is very playful with the cute girl in the mirror.

Waiting patiently while Dad & Arlo finish the grocery shopping.

K. Wan is training Arlo well!

There was no swimming for sick Lucy this week, but Arlo was well enough to go.

He seems to have fallen behind a bit while away for 3 weeks. Gotta get back into the game!

Lucy's friends help raise her mood after nap..

Someone is now as interested in nature as her brother.

Can't quite bike yet, but getting comfortable on the scooter!

Photographer Arlo, practicing his portrait work.

Just hanging out on Sunday morning. Better take it easy today and make sure everyone's feeling better for the week ahead.

We went back to Boonthavorn (our go-to construction store) and they were having a giant kitchen extravaganza. Hundreds and hundreds of balloons!

Standard Sunday swing-by at the new house. They've removed the railings (watch out!) to upgrade them (literally).

The new wood has been laid in Arlo & Lucy's rooms, and now it needs to sit for a few weeks before they can sand and finish it.

The new wall at the top of the 4th floor, which will be made to match the stair banister.

The master bathroom is coming together: the stone around the tub has been cut, and the countertop laid.

The shelves are in in the shower, too.

Oh! The scaffolding is gone! I knew it looked emptier.

And they've started to work on the back, too, to check out the water tank and redo the floors.

One of these things is not like the others!

Late Sunday visit to the farm! It's been ages since we were last here.

Lucy's old enough and has enough stamina now that we need neither the carrier nor the stroller.

Special treat: feeding the fish! (And ducks. But mostly fish, because they're really fast!)

The okra are doing really well!

And Arlo's a pro at finding grasses and plants that the goat and sheep love.

Night night, Lucy.

Someone insisted on sleeping with her headphones on.

Fresh buttered english muffin for brekkie.

Someone turns 1 1/2 years old today! Where's the time gone?

Getting more comfortable with the various playground equipment at school.

And Lucy's well enough now to head back to playgroup!

Green grapes! He's been asking for some for ages. So excited to finally have some, he barged into the office to show me.

Bike time!

Even Lucy gets to ride.

In case you were wondering what happened to the cactus that snapped in half 30 min before we left for Canada...

... it subsequently broke again... and the two short pieces have miraculously just continued growing...

... while the tall piece is still alive, too.

Lucy. Is there any room for YOU in your bed?

She knows what toilets are for! Good night and see you next week!
