19 days to go. We’re on the home stretch. And for some crazy reason we decided that now would be a good time to take a trip to Virginia! Which will leave us about 5 days to pack up for the trip back to Thailand.

The other day I was telling Samantha that we were going on another trip in an airplane. She promptly began to sing the theme song to “Little Einsteins” (it’s our take off song).
I said, “Mummy and Daddy and Samantha and Timothy will be going on the plane together back to Thailand”.
She responded, “And Nana, too!”
“No, Nana’s not coming to Thailand with us.”
“NO! Nana has to come on the airplane with us! Nana’s coming to Thailand, too! Yay!”

She has made up her mind, and everytime she talks about Thailand, she mentions Nana. Hmm. What can I do to manipulate Nana into coming, so that my little girls heart isn’t broken? Anyone got a spare round trip ticket lying around?

I can’t believe our year in the US is over. It seemed like it would last forever, but now I’m looking back and wondering where the time went. Oh yeah, I was incubating and taking care of a new baby, and didn’t have much time or energy for anything else.
