WE AREN'T IN TAIPEI ANYMORE!!!
Wow, the kids and I left taipei on June 11. School had been out for one day. We loved it there, we had a fab time, made wonderful friends and saw amazing thing. We learned alot about expats, I learned that people in other countries (especially those who have presidents spending their money on their wives jewels and a fear of china imposing war) have other things to do with their time.
So, we're home in Washington State, but not in Seattle proper. We bought a bit o house with a bit o'land. A bit. We've a shy acre where the kids can run free with fabulous neighbors. Both kids have a great new school and my job is so far, quite enjoyable! Paul is still trying to figure out how to get some adventure out of life. I'm thinking a survival course or something, but we'll have to figure that out.
It is nice to be home. I've got the same "wow, this is amazing" feeling that I had when we first moved to taiwan. Its opposites, but the same. We've had this great experience, so we're different, but nobody is patting the kids on the head and asking for their picture. And I'm not learning a new language (outside of "you want how much to prune a big fir tree?") I'm in love with our new bit of heaven, - the house needs some updating. But needs will be prioritized accordingly. Jessi has a pink room. Sam has a slide on his bed. Both were just silly today as we piled up the leaves as high as Sam. 
You know, I'm going to let this go.
I'll write more another day!
Peace, Steph
