My daughter Vannessa and I arrived in Chiang Rai on Saturday, December 19th to a wonderful greeting of family and friends. It was very nice to see them all at the airport to greet us.
After getting settled in our hotel, Big picked us up and took us to their new home. It is very, very pink but it is perfect for them. We got the tour of the house and it has plenty of room. Palita and Nittaya have a larger room for themselves on the main floor. It is complete with it's own bathroom just for them. There is a living room and a storage area off of the main level and then a "guest" bathroom. Upstairs are the rooms for the three boys, Tin, Teerladet and Ahomrontep and then Wandi and Nom share a room across the hall. There is a nice balcony which they can all enjoy and the room for Big, Fon and Yim is located off of that. They have a bathroom of their own and a sink outside on the balcony.

There is a large yard area in front of the main entrance which leads to a covered patio/eating area which is very pleasant. Off of the eating area is a kitchen. Outside of the kitchen area is the car port and a large yard for the kids to run and play in. There is little traffic so it is quiet and the kids can ride their bicycles all over the neighborhood.
We spent most of Saturday just playing with the kids and sitting on the patio area. It is very nice. I really enjoy sitting outside, even with the bugs.
Everyone is happy, healthy and doing well. It is so rewarding to see how far the children have come in the two years we have had Promise Home open. The older girls are responsible young ladies who are looking at going on to University and the younger children are doing better and better at school. All of them have been greatly influenced by the consistent, calming love and guidance from Big and Fon.
Today is Tuesday in Chiang Rai and tonight is the Christmas celebration at Promise Home. Big has a special menu planned and it should be a wonderful time spent with family.
Till next time....
God Bless,
Heather
