The Blog Title Becomes Reality!

It's been a long wait, but the Martins are finally reunited! Firstly, it's important to credit my wife with braving two flights with a 4-year-old and 2-month old spanning half the globe by herself. Not duty I would volunteer for and, even though she's still exhausted from it, she pulled it off without a hitch. Anyway, onto some moments from their first couple of days here...

Nothing like an excited 4-year-old to see you at the airport for the first time in about 2 months:


Shane has filled out, growing more substantial and becoming much more alert than when I last saw him:


It's also readily apparent that Share loves his big sister and vice versa:


On one of our first outings onto the streets of Bangkok, Eliana enjoyed some fresh coconut:


Meanwhile, I admired Shane's prodigious hairline:


Finally, here's a little video that ably shows how excited Shane gets about things spinning above him (guess who he gets the involuntary arm and leg spasms from? me!):




Fortuitously, their first weekend here in a 3-day weekend thanks to ol' Columbus. Looking forward to showing them around the next few days and getting to spend some quality time with all of them.
