My wife came back home to us on February 27th, after a 30-day self-imposed exile up country in her home province of Sakhon Nakorn. She did not go back to a proper drug rehabilitation facility and has not participated in any 12-Step Programs that will help her deal with her disease of substance abuse.
Little Nio taking a snack at one of the airport restaurants. We're waiting for his Mommy's flight to arrive from Udon Thani.
Little Nio is playing with a new helicopter on the floor of the new airport. My wife's flight arrived on time and the drive back home felt great. We've been reunited as a family.
Excited for Mommy to be back home with us, Little Nio gets up real early. Here he is wearing some new pyjamas brought back from England by his auntie, P' Ae, his Mommy's older sister.
Out walking around Central World with Mommy, trying to make up for lost time together as a family. Here Little Nio is posing with an oversized inflatable sculpture with proportions reminiscent of a Botero painting.
Enjoying the children's play area at Central World.
Wonderful toy train ride. Another coin operated ride that is designed to wolf down all your coins just by going round and round, but then again it offers so much fun for the child it's more than a fair deal.
Mommy looking over Little Nio's shoulder while playing another coin operated arcade game.
Stopping for ice cream at Swensen's, Little Nio and Mommy have a bit of a disagreement on who should have all the crayons and paper to doodle with while waiting for the ice cream. Little Nio thinks he should have it all, besides the waitress did give it all to him. Although it is a fair time to teach him the concept of "sharing".
Back at home, reading magazines in the family room.
Time to go to sleep. Little Nio gives his Mommy a big good night kiss.
Eating some shaved ice cream and red syrup snacks right after Easter Sunday mass. Not a great idea since we are supposed to have a special buffet lunch very soon.
Little Nio and his Mommy posing for a shot at the Conrad Hotel just before our excellent buffet lunch.
Stuffing up at the buffet. Looks like Little Nio has had his fill.
Taking time to play some video games with Mommy. Either Little Nio is extremely good at knocking out his Mommy's character, or his Mom let him win.
This shot was taken at the Emporium play area on the third floor. Mommy and Little Nio are spending time together after a very long separation.
Here's Little Nio dressed up in his "police" outfit playing the drums.
Our little drummer boy really knows how to make a big racket.
These shots were taken at home during Songkran day, which is the Buddhist Lent. This is a very holy day where the owners of the home give a ceremonial and symbolic bath to the Buddha figures. We have a beautiful figure that was made in the province of Sukhothai.
Little Nio looks very pleased to be helping his Mommy.
We are thankful for all the blessings we have received and pray that good fortune, health and happiness reside in our homes and in our hearts always. Not so different at all from what every good Catholic could wish for.
