Decy, Chely and Nathaysa returned from Bali Tuesday night … after spending a week there.  I saw Decy when I got home (approx 1030pm) but not Chely norNathasya.  Seems they had a good time … and some important girl bonding time – I can appreciate that, because I know the feeling when the boys and [...]

This is a short blog.  The work hours are incredible right now – leaving nothing for personal time, much less adequate sleep.  Not only am I dozing off at my desk, but standing up isn’t helping very much – yesterday, I dozed off while standing.  I’m trying to redeem whatever time I can, which means [...]

Indonesia hasn’t yet taken the US tacit of adjusting holidays to allow greater enjoyment by the public. In 2010 we have lots of holidays that fall on Saturday or Sunday (sigh) or Tuesday or Thursday (ugh). We have one such holiday – Nyepi that is tomorrow (Tuesday). I guess this is one [...]

Being a parent is a long term commitment. While there is countless good times, experiences, memories, etc., there are also many challenges. I love all my children dearly and feel blessed by each and every one of the them. We have good relationships – strengthened by love and mutual respect.
There are times, [...]

I think that Chris and I can relate – super busy, sleep deprived. It is taking everything I have to stay caught up both work-wise and personal-wise. And, this isn’t even my peak workload. I am not getting enough rest. I am not getting enough downtime. Ugh.
Yesterday, Decy was baptized at [...]

Just a few minutes ago (yes, it is only 440am) I was advised that before too long I wouldn’t be able to use the term “Baby Georgie” any longer. I am greatly looking forward to dropping the “baby”. Maybe I will go to Toddler Georgie … key is, this young lad is a [...]

Its been a long 24 hour with Baby George (full name: Christian George Hutauruk). He is quite the fighter and proved that on Sunday night when we almost lost him. Overall, his prognosis is good. He woke up on Monday morning almost as if nothing had happened – other than having [...]

Baby George’s situation has gone from nervous, to bad, to grave, to stable (?). Yesterday (Sunday) evening at 6pm for reasons we do not know yet, Baby George went into convulsions, seizures, shock … who knows for sure – I may never know because of the language differences. Anyway, Baby George was rushed [...]

Please keep Baby George in your prayers. He was scheduled to begin the second phase of his surgeries this week. Unfortunately, he has recently had a bad case of diarrhea … for several days. So, they needed to put him in the hospital and stablize him …. stop the diarrhea and ensure [...]

Sunday certainly was a big day for the Decy. We started off with an early morning “get up” and left the house at 7am. We went to the church where Christian George Hutauruk was to be baptized. We particpated in the service (Protestant) and during the service CGH was batipized and Decy and I were [...]
