Flashback

When Max was in kindergarten we lived in Petaluma, CA.  We had no plans to move, we loved our little blue house, and the concept of ever living in Africa was one that had NEVER crossed our minds.
His class had a 'pet' that each kid got to bring home for a weekend, and Max was the first one to bring Zoe the Zebra to his house.

Now that Miles is in kindergarten, so much has changed!  We've lived in Alaska, and now are 'veteran' travelers, living in Angola.  But yesterday, Miles was the first in his class to bring home the class pet, Larry the Lion.

Funny how radically things can change, and yet still not be all that different.
