Farewell, Newark

This will be my final post from Newark, which we've called home for 15 months. Tomorrow we embark on our month-long nomadic odyssey before we fly to England for Lars to begin work. Needless to say, I'm a little strapped for time, but I wanted to get some cute photos of our recent visitors up here before we left. (Tor's godfather Josh and his fiancee April visited last weekend, too, but I haven't uploaded those pictures yet. Next post.)

Our gracious neighbor Yolanda volunteered to hold Col while we raced around cleaning the house
Christina and Caleb lent a hand on several occasions AND cooked us dinner

If only he could count that high

I'll miss three things in Newark: the proximity to Christina and Caleb, our church, and Tor's amazing day care provider. Sonia has been a constant in his life for our entire stay here, and he's blossomed from a toddler into a preschooler under her care. She's helped him grow socially, academically, and artistically, and she's set the bar high for Tor's next school. So far we've been incredibly fortunate in Tor's caregivers, and we pray the trend only continues in the UK.
Besties!
