Two Saturdays ago the girls and I went to the morning part of a Khmer wedding in our neighborhood. I won’t go into detail about Khmer weddings, but being invited is all about money. It’s a very fancy affair. The part we participated in was a fruit walk from the grooms house to get the bride (this is traditional….actually we just walked down the road from the bride’s house). Afterwards we ate breakfast in the large tent outside the bride’s home.

This week our neighbor is harvesting her cassava in the field behind our house. The kids have had a blast helping: pulling, cutting the cassava off the stalks, peeling, and cutting.

Take a peek into our world. Here we are – this morning before breakfast, a little before 7AM. It was in the upper 60’s, so some of us were cold.

New Year’s Eve we had a small family party including: carol singing, french fries, chocolate cake and cocoa, a picture slideshow from 2021, and sparklers. The kids slept by the Christmas tree, and Becca and Isaiah stayed up until 12 to ring in the new year by throwing poppers over the edge of the porch. Micah and I were up as well.
