Ha,
Yes, so many blogs about not blogging.
Coming back was brutal. I also jumped right back into working because I was given a great opportunity to cover someone for three months for a maternity leave and well basically stayed from December 2014 until now.
It was hard on my kids and I am not sure I have great advice about how not to make it hard. It wasn't just hard on my son in Japanese school but also my daughter who was in International school. Socially it was hard for them as well. My daughter had been modeling in Japan and when she came back to California she was no longer "the star." I also missed being "the star" to a lesser extent.
But here we are 3.5 years later and mostly finally adjusted. We are now just dealing with the usual pre-teen drama. And we did keep doing some family traveling. Again, all lost in Facebook.
Kelby and I went to Tanzania. Awesome. The whole family did Iceland, Wales and England - also great but not quite Tanzania awesome.
This summer, now that I am no longer "working" I am planning another trip to China and Nepal. It is pretty complicated so I am glad I have the time to do all the research. I really plan to post photos and advice when we get back.
cheers
