About Us

My photo
The title for our blog came from the saying "thinking outside the box", which means to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. "Enjoy your choices and enjoy what you do. Never let a day go by without being thankful for the fact that you get to be here in the first place." Hopefully this blog will help family and friends to stay a little closer to us even though were thousands of miles apart; as well as to share in our trials, daily life adventures and traveling experiences.

Mommy and Me

Ella and I were invited to join a mommy and me group. We went once after returning from our visit to the United States. Then while Doug's parents were here we decided not to go. However it was time to meet again last Thursday, so we offered our home as the meeting place.

I made sure to have some tea and goodies ready for the moms.

Ella got all her toys ready to share with new friends and waiting patiently for them to arrive.


hmmm....when are they going to get here?

There are about 6 moms who attend the group with their kids. Something always comes up that I don't know if all 6 have ever met at the same time.  This past Thursday Ella was able to play with Jonte and Isabella (both of whom she met last time and are the same age as Ella), but met a new friend Noah; 18 months (he didn't make it in any of the pictures).


The kids had a great time and were all ready for naps by the time our two hour time period was up. Ella and Isabella especially liked pressing the reindeer ear over and over to hear "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" while dancing.

Ella - Looks like you had fun with your friends. Did Mommy have a good time too?
