A Trillion Joys

Hi! Hi! Hi!

Drew & Rachel checking in here.

Hanging out with our family in Hong Kong and Changsha was the BEST EVER! A trillion joys in these past three weeks. The boatload of photos need organizing before stories can be recounted here. But suffice it to say, good times.


I intend to write again soon, but you should know that there are a three things keeping me off the computer.

1. Enjoying time with me and my three little boys so much -- it's been more than a month that we've all been together, in our regular daily habits.

2. Our friends' baby is in a serious medical situation and we've been trying to be available and supportive.

3. On vacation I was rarely online and have yet to regain an internet habit; I'm finding books tremendously more attractive.


Thank you for keeping up with us -- and to all those who I should have been emailing or calling, thank you for your patience while I was on time-out from communications.

We'll share photos and tales from these fantastic weeks in the very near future.

your cool refreshing wind that suggests autumn will come, a welcome encouragement after summer's scourge
