We are moving.....

BACK TO AMERICA!!! Yes, you read that correctly,  We will be moving back to the United States at the end of April.  We have had a wonderful four and a half years in Prague but it is time to say good-bye.  We have always struggled with when to move back home.  We came here thinking it would be for two years but arrived here and just loved it.  There was no way we were going to move back after only living here for two years.  We were happy.  The kids were happy.  Watson was happy.  We all had good friends.  Why would we leave that?  So, we kept putting off the decision to move back home.  After four and a half years the kids have grown a lot.  While we all still love it here the kids are at an age where we want them developing their relationships with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  We also want to move them into a school system in the U.S. before cliques form and it becomes more difficult to make friends.  With the girls finishing up kindergarten and first grade (Year 1 and Year 2 here) it finally makes sense to move back.  While we all feel sad about leaving we are also looking forward to the next chapter in our lives.
