Shawn got home from Indonesia safe and sound last Monday night!! We are super glad about that! He brought cool and unique gifts to all the kids and me! He bought things that they couldn't get here in the states! The kids love their gifts and it will be something they can always treasure! So what did we get?...
Austin got this little wooden puzzle thing called a Bintang...it took him about an hour to figure it out and he has it mastered now!! :) It was hand carved!

Ty got a shadow box with this flying lizard!! gross! All I can say is that I am glad it's dead and in a closed container! He of course LOVES it!!
in case you hadn't seen enough of it already! eewwww!
Kailee started a doll collection a few years ago and so Shawn got her this neat doll! It's made of wood and all hand carved and hand painted. It's called a Shinta...she stands for faithfulness and honor...the story goes something like this; Her husband had her thrown in jail and then released her to be thrown in a fire because he thought she wasn't a virgin. She survived the fire and was unharmed which proved her innocence! Some fairytale huh?!
I got this beautiful and very real pearl necklace and some pearl earrings!! Gorgeous huh?!! They aren't farmed pearls either...they were "wild"!!
Kyler got a bongo drum...again hand carved and hand painted!! He loves it...it has been a favorite among all the kids!
Then last...here are some pics of the $$ from over there! Isn't it crazy to see 100,000 printed on some money. Too bad it only equals $100 U.S. dollars. The 1,000 one equals about 1 U.S. dollar.
This set of coins is from Hong Kong...he stopped there on his way back home.
3 chatted at me:
I see how it is, Shawn can go to indonesia and stop by hong kong-totally normal, but cant make it to seattle for the wedding of the centuary!!!! J/K :) Glad he made it home safe and with ton's of cool stuff!!! Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!!!
So where's my present? Those things are awesome! I bet that was a really cool experience for Shawn!! Love you!!!
Awesome! Shawn you must have had huge luggage to fit all that in. Bet you look gorgeous in the pearls T.
