I spent some time today at a local park my wife and kiddos. We also invited two international students to join us who we host from a local university. Our kiddos love spending time with these ladies because they remind us of our time overseas.
The activities of the day included:
- freeze tag
- lots of swinging and sliding
- enjoying the sunny weather
- finding ways to avoid the chilly breeze
- eating a picnic lunch (we always use a special quilt from my wife's family when we eat on the ground)
After we finished at the park, we came back home and played Carcassone, a family favorite.
Making Memories
Making memories is an important part of life for my wife and kiddos. We love spending time together as a family. We also enjoy inviting other people into our lives. Our international students have filled a void that has been in our hearts since we moved away from Indonesia.
And I hope my family can be apart of their "home away from home". I hope that my wife and I can be their adoptive parents while they live in the United States.
Today we made memories, and I look forward to making many more.

Wow beautiful moment with family, my friend @sumatranate, I see how you can speak bahasa very well, where did you stay in Indonesia?, did you work for one of International Organization in Indonesia? or you work for private companies? sorry to address you such private questions. Might be we have some mutual friends in real world, because I used to work for International Red Cross (IFRC). This is my facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/abi.pagai?ref=bookmarks
