We were out riding bikes yesterday and thought of you (we do whenever we ride past your house!) as we saw the renters going into your house. We miss you guys, but we also love hearing about your adventures in China!
P.S. Emma got Kiana's postcard this week! Thank you!
Glad the postcard arrived! We miss you too! Happy that we can keep in touch via Facebook.
