Just weeks before the fall term, I got a call from the Overseas Family School – Elie and Nathan had gotten in. We put them on the wait list way back in January, and I promptly forgot, assuming there would never be spots available. But there are . . . Elie and Nathan are now at a big international school. Now they wear uniforms. Now they ride in the tour sized bus to school instead of the mini-van. They want to go down the elevator and wait for the bus alone. I drop them off for playdates and don’t need to stay. Nathan even pees standing up. There are no babies in our family anymore. Everything feels just a little bit different. Time waits for no one – not even the reluctant mother.

Jane!!! Just look at them in their uniforms - I am tearing up! Can't wait to see you all very very soon. Happy Hanukkah and safe travels back to us. Love, Heilla
