Laowai

Jennifer, Jenna and Mom left early this morning. It feels a little like the day after Christmas.

When we moved I didn’t anticipate the difficulties around visits. Of course I imagined we would have melancholy feelings whenever we had to say good-bye, but there are also difficulties adjusting to being with our family or without them. It’s like changing modes. It’s hard on the kids. They are off their schedules, more prone to outbursts and generally hyper when we travel or have visitors. And yet I wouldn’t change a thing because I have such a great time when we see our families and we have wonderful experiences that we’ll remember forever. 

So we girls had a blast over the last ten days – laughing and smiling all the time. Thank you so much Mom, Jennifer and Jenna for making the trip!
