This week finds us very busy packing for our trip home to the states. Everyone is excited except Sugar, who started acting weird once she saw the suitcases come out of the closet! Little did she know that the kids and I would be gone for nine weeks! My neighbor's helper, Olivia, helped us out by looking after Sugar this summer when we were gone or Shelby was traveling. We think maybe Sugar learned some of the Philippino language this summer! :)
