Headed back "home" to Singapore

I can't believe that we are headed back already, the 7 weeks we were home just flew by. For those of you that we didn't get to see this trip, I do apologize and PROMISE to see you guys at Christmas. There weren't enough hours in the day and days here for us to do all that we wanted to. Here I thought it would be a relaxing visit home. Silly me! :) The kids have mixed feelings right now, they are sooo excited to go back and see their friends in Singapore and start the new school year, but they are so very sad to leave all of our good friends here in the USA and the comforts of home. They had to say all their good-byes today to friends and it was hard for them. Once we get to the airport tomorrow, they will be excited to get back to the warm tropical Singapore island.

As I look into the other room I am seeing a TON of stuff to pack into our few suitcases and bags...yikes...getting very stressed. So instead I will post a few photos of things we did over the past few days. (nothing like procrastination)

A trip to The Childrens Museum in Boston -great fun afternoon

Maddie and Grant training to be future members of The Blue Man Group

Grant, don't run over your sister! She'll be nicer to you, I promise!

Madeline decided she should learn to fly a plane...just in case she needs to take over for the pilot tomorrow on our 21 hour flight!


Maddie and her best friend Kaitlin had many sleepovers while we were home. Maddie took her camera everywhere with her this summer, including the sleepovers. These 2 girls came up with cute/creative pictures using the timer and setting the camera on things.


And sweet Grant got glasses to help him see the board at school. He was sooo excited to get them, not really sure why, but it made it a lot easier. He was even more excited to find out the they had POWER RANGER glasses! He wants to wear them 24/7, but the dr. told him only during class time. He will find any excuse to put them on now. So cute.
