Voyages of the S.S. Whalen: December 2013
http://sswhalen.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. We had a relaxing, enjoyable Christmas in Mexico this year. Delays in crossing the bridge can last several hours during the holidays, so we hunkered down on this side of the border for most of the month. Shauna decorated cookies and the inside of the house, Sean strung the Christmas lights outside, and Asher terrorized the nativity sets. All in all, a successful Christmas season. Asher's gingerbread men - no, he did not do the piping. This year, w...

Voyages of the S.S. Whalen: May 2014

Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Saturday, May 3, 2014. Easter in El Paso:. Asher and his friend at the Church Easter celebration. They were big fans of the Peep cupcakes. The egg hunt - he's starting to get it, but he gets so distracted by what might be in each egg. While the other kids are amassing their eggs, he has to listen to and open each one before continuing. Prior to the Easter pictures, Asher had a literal "run in" with a wall, thus the goose egg. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Thursday, October 24, 2013. Asher's First Camping Trip - Percha Dam State Park. A couple of weekends ago (Woohoo, I'm almost caught up on my blog! I decided we needed to go camping! From the moment we got out of the car and Asher saw his friends and the fire - he decided he loved camping! He was such a good boy on the trip, and we had so much fun with him. He had fun hanging out with his friends and being silly together :). Then it was s'mores time! Candid shots are fun :).

Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Preschool in Ciudad Juarez. Asher and his friend in their school uniforms :). One of the frustrations for parents/fun experiences for kids, was that once a month they had a performance for the parents. The frustration for parents? The around the world dance performance - Italy. Asher shaking it with his tambourine - moving to his own beat, as always :). What in the world does a Mexican barber dress like? Well - This was what we came up with :). And this...

Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Friday, May 24, 2013. This year for Christmas, we stayed in Albania, and celebrated with just our little family. It was a pretty relaxing day. We were excited to celebrate with Asher this year since he is old enough to understand a little better what the holiday is about. Rockin' it "Hugh" style ;). Ok - so I have a lot of these pictures, but you know what? It is a rare occasion that Asher actually smiles for pictures, so if I have them, I'm going to post them! While he enjoye...

http://sswhalen.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Friday, September 5, 2014. We Love Our Friends! While hanging out with the family was great - it was sooo good to reconnect with friends! And reconnect we did! We got to hang out with some long lost friends from Albania who are all going their separate ways :(. We sure do miss these guys! And Shauna really misses these ladies! One of the great things about this stage in life is that our friends are also having babies! This "little" guys is two days younger than Everly! Attempt...

Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Monday, July 27, 2015. Birthdays, Camping, School and other Silly Stuff. With this post, we cover a lot of the everyday, small things that have taken place over the past few months. Here are some cute/silly pictures of the kids. Sean's creative use of candles to show Shauna turned 33. The Father and Son campout in Cloudcroft, NM. Asher had a blast! They even had a small rock climbing wall there. Yay!

Voyages of the S.S. Whalen: June 2015
http://sswhalen.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Easter this year was spread out over a couple of weeks. First was the consulate Easter party. These two cuties had lots of fun :). Asher was still in the younger kids group and since most of the kids were just toddlers, we had to hold him back a little so that he didn't collect ALL the eggs. Shauna made the trip all by herself with both kids - she was a little nervous, but these guys did a great job in the car for 7 hours! Not a scared bone in his body :).

http://sswhalen.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Where in the world are we from? When Everly came into our lives, we learned that both of her birth parents were adopted themselves and they didn't know anything about their heritage. Shauna saw an ad for Ancestry.com that was advertising the chance to find our your genetic heritage through a DNA test. She decided that this would be a good gift for Sean for Father's Day. The order was placed and the DNA kit was in the mail. 169; 2014 Nokia. 169; 20...

http://sswhalen.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Voyages of the S.S. Whalen. Sunday, August 25, 2013. After home leave, we were off to training in Virginia for the month of May. While there, we had to go out and explore some of the things in the DC area that we hadn't had time for yet. We got out a lot, saw a lot, and just had a lot of fun. Here are a few of the places we went to. He doesn't even realize he's about to be eaten by a giant statue. Sean needs to teach him better ;). Asher just hanging around ;). The Claude Moore Colonial Farm at Turkey Run.
