The start of our journey to the Philippines...

 We leave this Thursday for Cebu, and are here in Rapid City, South Dakota, spending some time with family.  We left Friday evening, leaving our home behind for a year.

As we packed the last of our things on Friday, here was the exchange between Jaya and I:

Jaya: "We're packing for the Pil-a-peens.  We taking our stuff."
Me: "Yes, Jaya, we're packing our things."
Jaya: "Mama, we can't take the house."
Me: "No, we can't."
Jaya (in her omniscient toddler voice):  "Yeah, Mom, it's too heavy."
