In the meantime, the boys are still the boys, whether we have to pack up our whole house and move to another country (again) or not. Micah is still the cutest thing ever. He's now 18 months old (as of yesterday) and is talking up a storm. He'll repeat pretty much anything he hears us say, in any language. He knows all our friend's names and calls them when they come over. And he's totally using sentences! He has talked sooner and better than his brothers did at this age, for sure. Joshua and Luke are finishing up the last of the kindergarten curriculum today, actually. We will do some other kindergarten things once we get settled in the U.S., but we've worked through our curriculum book and are able to finish it here. I'm really glad! Emotion is high at times around here because they sense the transition. Of course, that just translates to excitement and hyperactivity for them and struggle with patience for us. You can be remembering us as we continue to parent through this major family transition. There have already been some challenging days.
But, we are all excited to return to the States and see our family and friends again. The other day we had lots of boxes and bags out in the hallway as we were trying to clean out the room where Grandmother is going to sleep. Luke came out and said, "Are we going to America right now?!" He was pretty pumped. And though our holidays were somewhat tiring for Mommy & Daddy, the boys had a blast. :o) I'll include a few recent pictures below for your viewing pleasure.
This was from when we studied jewels. They made "jewel" necklaces and crowns. 
This comes from leaving him in his bed for too long before we go in to get him out. :o) He started undressing himself!
