Yay!! I finally talked to my little boy! Beccie (Deija's mom) called Deija on Saturday night and was sweet enough to call me 3-way so I could talk to the kiddos! This is how the conversation with Caleb went...
Me (squealing with excitement and on the verge of tears): Hey sweetie!!! We miss you so much! Are you homesick???
Caleb (with little excietment): Uhhh, not really.
Me (hiding my disappointment): You don't miss us?
Caleb (typical pre-teen): No, well yea, a little.
Me (wanting to ask a million questions but decide on one): So what are you doing now?
Caleb (typical Caleb): Shooting rubber bands at lizards.
So, I could only talk for a few seconds because Beccie was using one of those super expensive international calling cards and I didn't want to use all the minutes. But that was enough. She called me after and filled me in with some of the details of their trip so far:
- They got to ride on elephants.
- They eat frog stuffing with lemongrass (ewww.)
- Amara held a funeral for her mother (she died in the U.S. 15 years ago) 4,000 people attended the ceremony.
- Caleb is learning French
- Deija was sitting next to a cow (?)
That's all I have for now. I'm sure I'll get more when he comes back. They'll be spending the rest of the trip in Thailand. I miss my boy so much! And I know he's totally missing me....right?

Even though I knew everything you just wrote, I still smiled when I read it. Cutest boy...
By the way, I told Danny the whole convo last night. All he said was (staring off in to the distance), "I would love to be shooting lizards right now...". Typical Danny.
