Wheels Up!
Movement in a big way is happening for us in a few days. Our much-anticipated move to Asia starts on Wednesday, with a haul to O’Hare and a 24 hour trip to Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, where Jo will start her teacher training, and the kids and Ernie will breathe, do a few down dogs […]
