It's official

The time has come for my last post.

We have settled into mundane life ironically right back where we started from. The glaring change, this time around it doesn't feel so mundane. Maybe traveling is, in the end about a quest to re-invent ones attitude towards life. Surely this is one of the jewels we have brought home.

We picked the kids up from there first day of school to an unusual enthusiasm, "so nice everyone speaks English!", "I wish Mr. Charles would be my teacher every year!", "every girl in class wanted to play with me!", "We just had free draw like the whole day!". Josh and I joke that the kids got grateful, that anything is better than being stuck in a van with your parents for four months. The truth be told I think we feel just as grateful and excited as them.

I would be lying if I didn't say we left a piece of our hearts in Europe. But for now these tired travelers are glad to have a place to call home full of people who love them.

O's and X's from all of us!
