Change of Plans

The alert readers among you will take note of the date on this entry and say "Hmmm. I thought you were supposed to be on a plane today." (Actually this blog is posting Singapore time, so really it's 8:30 pm on the 15th.) Yes, right you are. 3 days before our departure Jim and I looked at each other and agreed there was NO way we would be able to get on the plane in 3 days without major distress. That, combined with the fact that we heard our belongings STILL have not shipped from Singapore, means that we are staying a couple more weeks. Our new departure date is June 28th.

Honestly, I'm SO relieved. I had been moving at such a furious pace with all the details that when we finally made that decision I felt completely incapacitated for a day. But now we are both breathing easier with plenty of time to work on getting ready AND getting a bit of rest.

Most of the fun pics from our past month are below, but here are a couple more from the Bradford side to share:


We spent one more day with my sister in Arlington, on their 12th anniversary! They graciously agreed to share their special day with us instead of going out by themselves for dinner.















Ballet lessons for K, E and cousin Elise. This picture was taken only moments before Ellie decorated her entire tutu with modelling paint. The tutu is no more.















It will never happen again in the history of photography that any four given children will all be looking and smiling at a camera, all at one time. The four Bradford cousins: K, E, Elise and Ethan.















Here are the girls with my brother Aaron, Aunt Kristen, and dog extravaganza, Duncan (so named after Tim Duncan of the 2007 NBA Champion SA Spurs!)
