It doesn't get much better than this . . . 

  

from cambodia to america

What a blessing to have our grand babies here for a whole month

and then . . . they are moving to British Columbia

I think that the person the Talstras will miss
most of all is dear, dear Ming Kohm
{Yay-Yay to Cedar and Ezra}

When Cedar was born our Wine-on-Wednesday Friends 

gave the Talstras a Pea Pod travel bed. 

It still gets a lot of use . . .

Our sweet granddaughter {in Cambodia} has just turned four months old.

There are some very cute photos of her on her mom's blog . . .

we live in all we seek

We were fortunate to spend the first month of her life with her in
Bangkok and then Cambodia
and now we miss her {and her family} very much.

When we moved from Bangkok back to Phnom Penh we had a bit of luggage!

On a hot humid morning in Phnom Penh we read.

About an hour after Amanda went to the delivery room, We were walking in the hall with Cedar to pass some time. We walked past the nursery and peeked in.
What a surprise - there was Daniel with a baby wrapped in a pink blanket.



"Breech Baby" Ezra arrived on 9/10 {7lbs 4oz} via C-section.
She is a cutie and has the same red hair as Cedar.



It is easy to pick her out in the nursery among all those Asian babies.



The hospital is like a 5 star hotel - they know how to do it right in Thailand.
We particularly love the grand piano playing in the lobby near the grand staircase.
And . . . it will cost 78,000 baht {$2,500} for a 4 day package.
Imagine what that would cost in the USA!!



Jim and I are trying to be brave, navigating around Bangkok with Cedar {both walking and in taxis}, while Mama and Papa spend the 4 days at the hospital.
