Day 34, Year 5: All About Grand Babies
Date: Sunday, November 29, 2009
Weather: Beautiful Day with Blue Skies; Late Afternoon Rain
Location: Rebak Marina, Pulau Rebak, Langkawi, Malaysia
We talked to Justin, Jo, and Ziggy this morning and Heather, Jed, Sam, and Jonah this evening, so it was a perfect day for us. We had our Grand Baby Fix for this week. In fact, we had a very busy Skype day. Early this morning, our friends Ron and Suzi called us on Skype video from China. And while Mark was talking to them, Justin and Jo called and then my niece Jennifer called. Mark was a little overwhelmed with all the calls at once. We did get to talk to Justin, Jo, and Ziggy, but we missed my niece’s call. Then this evening, Heather and Jed called. So the great thing about today is that we got to see all three grandchildren on one day. Ziggy is almost eight months old, Jonah is a little more than five months old, and Sam will be three in January. They provide endless entertainment on Skype video and we enjoyed every minute of our connections with them.
As we prepare to leave here, we are spending every spare minute on the internet doing research for the coming year and continuing to get our website up-to-date. We are still hoping to leave here on Tuesday, but we are starting to think that we might not make our deadline. But surely by the end of the week we will be on our way to Thailand. Of course, every time I have said ‘surely’ it is an absolute indication that the plan won’t work, so we shall see.
