Home Leave

Wow! I can't believe it has been almost a month since I blogged last. I am sitting in the family room of our house in Vancouver. It has been cold and rainy almost every day that we have been in Washington. One exception....Graduation day was beautiful!!!!

Tucker and Hattie
Hurray!!!!

Graduation was the highlight of our "home leave".

Definition of "home leave".......a time when you are supposed to be on vacation but the entire time is filled with appointments......doctor, dentist, insurance, car repair just to name a few. The rest of the time is spent doing all the other things that need to be done because you have been away for a whole year! AND if you are lucky you can squeak in a visit with friends and family!

Tucker will be working for a design firm in Seattle. And....Hattie has an internship in Seattle this summer so they will be moving at the end of this month. Abi will be in Vancouver for the summer also working.

We are back to Shanghai on Sunday where the temp is about 86 degrees and the humidity is 83 percent!
