I am back among the living :)

Wow, how do I even begin?  It has been four months and I haven't posted a thing.  Has nothing been going on in our lives... oh, the contrary.  We packed up our lives into a tiny one bedroom apartment in China, crammed everything else into a load of suitcases, and ventured back to the states.  We have been back in the states since June and haven't stood still since- or so it seems.  Our time has been filled mostly with getting reacquainted with family and friends and getting our bearings in the American culture.  Here's just a small glimpse into the last four moths... actually just June.  I couldn't narrow down the options so decided to post one blog of just June pictures.  More to come soon- I hope.
