No Rain

It didn't rain today during soccer practice! This is the first time this season that the kids have been able to practice for the whole time on the field.

On a different note, Joseph read 50 books and got on the library wall of fame. Audrey read 100 books and got to pick out a free book. She is already on the library wall of fame.

It was a beautiful afternoon for soccer practice.

Headache

I have had a really bad headache for a week now. I went to the clinic yesterday and the doctor gave me some heavy duty headache meds. They worked for a day but my head has been really hurting again. I hope it goes away soon. I guess spending all morning sitting in heavy traffic didn't help.

Oops

I realized this morning that I forgot to post pictures from yesterday.

I know all my picture can't be about traffic, but the traffic here really does wear on a person.  I feel like I spend half my life just sitting in traffic.

Celebration

Our apartment complex hosted a Chinese New Year celebration this evening. It was a lot of fun. There was food and entertainment.

Two Years!

Two years ago today we arrived in Jakarta.  Time sure flies.  Joseph had a 7:30am soccer game this morning.  The game was at the British International School.  Sadly, it started pouring down rain after we got there.  It cleared up some, but the game was cancelled.  It took an hour to get there and an hour to get back plus we waited to see if the kids were going to play so the soccer thing pretty much took up our morning.

For lunch, Doss took us out to Paradise Dynasty for Chinese Food.  The kids really enjoyed it.  In the evening, we went to a friend’s house and had Indian food.  After dinner we played a dance game and a karaoke game on their X-box.  It was a fun day.

The kids from the British International School didn’t seem to mind the fact that it was pouring down rain.

Dentist

The kids and I had our teeth cleaned today. Joseph had a cavity which was filled. Everyone else was cavity free. I sadly, have some more serious issues related to my bridge that will have to be taken care of in the near future. After the visit to the dentist, we went with some friends to North Jakarta to have lunch at a Taiwanese restaurant. The food was good, but it took 3 hours round trip which is quite an ordeal just to get food.

Vet

The vet came to the apartment and took a look at Nibbles. She said Nibbles must have hit her eye and that there was bleeding inside her eye. She gave me an anti-biotic ointment for her eye that I need to apply once a day for the next few weeks. She said Nibbles will be blind in her right eye. Poor hamster.

Joseph and I were messing around with the camera on the iPad. He took a picture of himself and I took one of us.
