Birth of baby Talitha Berends

Wonderful news! Our daughter Talitha Berends was born on March 20, 2015. We were very surprised when she came three weeks earlier than expected. We spent 7 weeks in Thailand waiting for all the paperwork to be completed by the embassy and Talitha is now an Australian citizen.

We have recently arrived back in Siem Reap where there have been days of electrical outages as many pylons providing electricity from Bangkok were blown over in high winds. When the electricity came back on we lost it again as a high truck sped past the power lines near us and cut the cable to our house. Normally the trucks go slow and someone sits on the roof or hangs out the window with a broom to push the power lines above the truck.
