Back from Thailand

2009-09-07T17:53:00.004+02:00

We are back from Thailand. We had a great time. Por, Mark, Bee Stephanie and Katrina all went. We visited Bee's family in Nakhon Sawan for 10 days then caravaned to Cha-Am Beach for a couple days before heading to Hua Hin beach. From there we went back to Bangkok for a couple days then off to Pattaya beach.

So we went to lots of beachs! It was great for Bee to see all her family and friends again, though of course it is sad to leave them again.

We are going to Scott AFB IL in January so it will probably be a while before we can go back home to Thailand and see Bee's family and friends again. I checked online and it would be about a 25 hr flight from there ouch! Not to mention it will cost a pretty penny for 5 tickets.

We took a few photos, here's links... enjoy!

Picassa Web Album for Katrina's Birthday

2009-03-13T17:15:00.002+01:00

Here's a link to the picassa web album we made for katrina's birhtday.

Katrina is born

2009-03-13T16:36:00.003+01:00

Wow crazy day, baby Katrina was born today, Friday the 13th of March 2009. She came earlier than expected so they will probably keep her in the hospital a couple of days to make sure she is doing well. She clocked in at 47cm and 2.5 kilos. I'm used to inches and pounds so not sure what that means. Anyway baby and mom are doing very well.

Have videos posted to the youtube channel, check the links on the left and I'll be posting some pictures too.

Best wishes,

Garrigus Family

The Christmas Post

2008-12-30T19:35:00.003+01:00

Christmas has come and gone. We had a brief chat with my family in Arizona. It was nice but short and fraught with technical difficulties from the technology. But it was nice to see everyone a little bit again. I miss them.

We made some Christmas cards and sent them out, but with how long the mail takes and how long it took our Dutch photographer to deliver the pictures, I don't think they have arrived yet in the States.

The past couple of days Stephanie has been sick. Vomiting and diarrhea. Not fun! Today I think she's gone through 6 diapers so far. That's a lot more than normal. She is doing okay but having trouble keeping down milk and as I mentioned the continuous poop problem.

We're visiting Thailand? Not so fast...

2008-11-30T21:47:00.005+01:00

So we were planning on visiting Thailand today. That's not going to happen due to the political crisis that is going on there that has shut down Thailand's main international airports for the past 5 days. Our good friends Harold and Suwan Vringer are among those who are trying to get back to Holland. They took Harold's folks for this trip, I guess they are getting a trip they will never forget. They are optimistic about getting back but so far no luck.

The news says there are 100,000 tourists stuck in Thailand so it is fair to say this is a pretty big deal with a lot of potential to get much worse before things get better.

We recently found out that Bee is going to have another girl. Bee is happy, she wants another little princess. Me, I am happy too. Stephanie is great. She is a dream girl, wonderful in everything to put it simply. I had hoped a bit for a son but it seems that is not in the cards. I don't think we'll have more after this next one but time will tell.

For sure we will have our hands full for a while with two infants come this April.

Welcome to the Garrigus Blog

2008-11-11T22:59:00.008+01:00

Greetings friends, family and other ladies and gentlemen of the Internet. Welcome to the Garrigus Family Blog. My name is Mark Garrigus as of this posting I'm 33 years old American married to a wonderful Thai wife named Bee.
Bee's first language is Thai so if she posts here don't expect perfect grammar as English is her second language.

We have two children, currently, Stephanie who is nearly 7 month old girl and Chalermkeat (Por) who recently turned 15. Bee is currently pregnant and is due next April so our family will be expanding again soon. We currently live in the town of Uden in the Netherlands.

Blog Features:
We will update this blog regularly with fascinating tidbits of news going on in our lives.

Expect to see photos of us as we grow older and have adventures and get into mad capers around the world.

and I'll post stuff that I think is funny.

Thanks for your time,

Mark Garrigus
