Au Revoir England

 On July 29th, 2011 we left England, our home for the last 3+ years.  It was really hard for me to see that stage of our lives ending.  And we were really dreading the trip to Seattle, but in actuality, things went exceedingly smooth.  I guess all the travel we have done with the munchkins has trained them to be excellent travelers.  We got up way earlier than anyone should have to and went to Leeds airport.  We then flew to Amsterdam and caught a direct flight to Seattle.  10 hours.  3 kids.  Lots of bags.  And still, we survived. The kids were super excited to go and see Grandma Margo, Grandpa Ron, and all their aunts, uncles and cousins on the High side of the family.  I expected them to be pretty emotional, but the excitement diverted them.  We have had our moments over the last few weeks, especially with Enoch, but they were fairly minor.  These kids are sure going to miss their friends, their teachers, their school and many other things about England, but we have every confidence that they will be quick to settle in and make new friends on the other side.  We love you England, and hope to spend some time with you again in the future!
