it was so nice to have grandma here while I was away. Girls really enjoy having her around, making them ponytails properly, accompanying them everywhere, and taking them pics whatever whenever.
they often just go to the mall downstairs to post for pics.
they played card EVERYDAY, several times a day! I wish I like board games, but I don’t. Glad grandma got to play with them.
but it came to an end last night. I went to sleep 7:30pm as I didn’t take an afternoon nap for the first time since I came back, but by 6:30pm I was getting really sleepy so decided not to fight against it. This is the pic I saw this morning, she cried for a long time.
Today we are all pretty down without grandma alone. Every time we feel sad to see her go, but this time it felt particularly hard. Maybe because she’s getting older, and we know our time with her is not unlimited. I really want her to spend more time with us, but she is bored when girls go to school, so that’s not feasible. She also says it’s tiring taking flights, one reason she won’t be coming back soon. The idea of not seeing her for unknown time makes me really sad. I should work hard to convince her to go to Australia with us in October, so we have someday to look forward in the near future.
Few more days and we go to Sumba and Bali. I am really looking forward to it. I need to plan what food to bring given my new experiment. I will do weekly report of how it goes since many of you seem intrigued.
Our New Journey 
Oh, I am sure you miss her so much! How wonderful that she was able to come and stay for so long.

It is SO hard to say goodbye, but it’s the sign of a great visit (and wonderful relationship). That would be wonderful if you could coordinate for Australia ❤

Goodbyes are hard especially when you don’t have plans to see her again soon. Your girls are making such wonderful memories with her. I have so many great memories of time spent with my paternal grandparents. It made their passing hard but also a little easier because I felt so lucky that I got to know them so well and spent so much time with them.
