starting to say goodbye

Friday we started saying our first "goodbyes" to our friends in this city. Although I am SUPER EAGER to get home and settled in to our apartment with our newest addition, I am also sad to leave some friendships here. It seems like we are almost always coming or going from somewhere :(

Friday morning we said goodbye to the house helper who has been a big part of our life for the past five weeks. She was so very good with the girls, made yummy lunches, washed mounds of dishes (over and over again) and stayed overnight with the girls on the night I spent at the hospital so Matt could be with me.





She loved to hold Isaac, walking around the house and singing to him!



Goodbyes are starting, with more to come.

But we've also got some great "hellos" ahead. One more day here, and we leave on Sunday morning for a short (!!) flight home!

So blessed to have a wonderful helper these past few weeks! Hope the packing and trip home go well - no throwing up! And one adult per child - great ratio. Love you all!
