Saying Goodbye


One week until we leave Shanghai.  When we arrived, not quite two years ago, Eli was four; Townes was eight; and Naomi a newly turned 11.  Now in the jaded eyes of a 43 year old, two years is a short time, but to these kids, it’s a big chunk of their childhood.

Matthew and I were talking this morning about the ups and downs of moving our family around the world.  Overall, we agreed, we accomplished our primary goal* – children’s minds blown open.  




*He also did some pretty good work for ISC.
