Ian Graduates, Dad's Rickshaw and ...... we're coming home!

It's been a busy month since our Japan vacation. The big news is that we're headed home to Boise! Dad's 3-year contract term ends in July and with a new opportunity awaiting in the US, we'll be headed back home to begin the next exciting phase of adventure in our lives. We're really excitied to be coming home, but sad to be leaving such a wonderful country and region, as well as some fantastic people we've met and worked with in our time here.

We had the packers here 2 weeks ago so all our stuff is now on a ship headed home. This shipment includes one of Dad's recent acquisitions ... a fully restored 25-year old rickshaw, saved from the streets of Bangkok. This item has created much humour among friends such that one of Dad's parting gifts was a cartoon portraying Dad atop his new 'bicycle' - both the cartoon and real thing we see in our photo's today.

Ian also graduated from his Kindergarten class yesterday and we see Ian pictured with his class and receiving his diploma as well as with a proud Mommy. Well done Ian!
