To thank kids in the Foreign Service whose parents are serving away from them, they have medals and certificates for the kids. It’s definitely not as good as having Randy around, but it was pretty special to have the Ambassador to the Philippines present the medals to the kids. And Randy was here and got to be a part of it. The boys have been really into medals and trophies so I thought they would like it and Miral likes to chew on stuff so I figured she could chew on hers.
Like everything with kids, getting there didn’t go as planned. Adam is in a stage where he only wants to wear sweatpants and three t-shirts he likes. Normally I don’t care but I told him to go into the Ambassador’s office he has to wear real clothes (not jogging pants…) well an hour and a half later we were on our way. Adam only agreed to wear real clothes over his regular clothes with a few bribes. You can see in the photos below there was a quick outfit change after where Adam ripped the top layer off to be in comfy clothes. But we made it and because I work in Public Affairs, my friend Paul, one of the Embassy photographers came and took some photos for us.
