Been away for a while, living abroad. We return soon. Our internet has been circa 1985 so I'm catching up on things here. Feels like a long time.....

Things are about the same - complicated. But for a while we were out of reach from W's work, except for phone, email, and care packages she received, well ok maybe not that far out of reach. I still have trouble with her boss and it still causes problems occasionally. She is due a promotion, and enjoys interacting with him very much. Honestly, I'm still not sure if the problem is his/her behavior or my own personal insecurities. And I'm not sure how to figure that out either. On the bright side, I've been a good dad I think through some tough times here, and I hope we're a stronger family. We miss the USA.
