Our first day in Chiang Mai required some time for house-hunting, but after being cooped up on a plane, I knew Callie wouldn't be interested in wandering through empty homes with Carmen, Jon and I.
So, Andy very graciously invited Callie to join him and the kids at the park/zoo. Jon and I weren't sure how Callie would feel about heading off without us so soon, but she ended up having a blast! It was so reassuring for us, as we've worried about her and the many changes that have come over the last month(s). Andy kept sending us pictures from his phone while we house-hunted and with each new picture, our hearts were put at ease. Callie will be just fine here :)
They got to enjoy some ice-cream together...
Callie got acquainted with "the girls"...
She got to ride a toy zebra...
She got to visit a real, live tiger... (which surprisingly, isn't a first for her :) )
And she quickly fell in love with her new "cousin" Connor...
All in all, a pretty fantastic first day in Chiang Mai for our big girl.

Aww, how wonderful! That must make you feel so good! And Callie is just adorable in these pics (as usual!)
Hey will you give those kids a big hug from their Auntie Melissa??? How fun to see Callie with them. I can only imagine the fun (and the challenges!) of Callie and JJ being so close in age - and neither of them having siblings close to their ages definitely means sharing isn't something they have to do as often, so it's great they get to practice together. ;)
It's great to see the pictures and know language school is off to a great start. I've always theorized that musical people are probably better at learning new languages b/c they're more tuned in to listening for sounds and tones, etc. Prove me right!!!!! : )
Love you guys...
