Back in the Charlotte



Well, we have arrived. It is amazing in many ways. Kids we have not seen in almost a year have changed, our home has someone else living in it, but most other things have not changed. Most things appear to be...... well, just like they were before.

It is a strange reaction we all had. Jonah said that it seemed like a long time ago. Tara said it seems like had not been in India (I think that was the "It is like a dream" thing) and I felt that a year felt like a year and Charlotte was just about how I remembered it. Aidan is pretty uncomplicated and did not feel too weird, and Liam was pretty quiet.

It is nice to be back. There is something to be said for routine, familiarity, order - all of the things that life in India does not present you with. But, it honestly leaves us with a strange feeling. We will certainly reflect on this as it unfolds and evolves.

Everywhere we go now, we feel like it is appropriate to start with, "We're not in Kansas anymore."

Greetings to everyone following the blog back in India and other points on the globe - we miss everyone! Greetings also to everyone following it stateside, we look forward to seeing you all soon!
