January was a month when a lot of things hit at once. I know I can usually eek out a blog post between the kids, and the part time job, and the house work, and the Bible study, and the homeschool, and the working out, but this time it just wasn't happening. But that's for another post. Today I want to celebrate the good things that happened this January.
On the top of that list, is our sweet Zoe turning 1!!!
I remember when our first child turned 1 and had a party with lots of relatives and gifts. By the fourth child you realize that 1) you don't really need that much stuff and 2) they're not going to remember it anyway. There's always the drawback of missing family while abroad, however.
We tried this astringent tasting fruit at the market again.
We found a really cool place with a great swimming pool and playground where you can go for free if you buy food. That’s why Talia has rosy cheeks here, she’s a water baby who will stay in the pool until you make her get out!
The playground was really nice too.
It’s next to a golf driving range, so everything is covered with a net roof to catch stray balls.
Ben came home really impressed by Singapore! It was clean!
It had great museums.
And he especially liked the Singaporean chicken and rice!
I’m glad he’s back home!

The kids really enjoyed it and slept for a good 2 hours when we got home! Ben was at an Environmental Summit in Singapore for five days because the group of students needed the principal along for the trip abroad, so napping children meant more sanity for me!
