I will be posting there from now on, rather than my China blog. It's kind of sad, in some ways - I've been on this blog for two years now. But I'm also truly thrilled that we are home, we are settling, and I can start fresh with a new blog for journaling from home.

Of course, I will be keeping this blog online indefinitely, and will be printing it out and digitally archiving it for future reference. I also plan to expand on the blog on the new site, with additional pictures, etc. I hope everyone keeps up in the new spot; it's been very nice to have the support of family and friends, and you all are precious to me (even if I haven't had time to say so recently - I'm wiped!)

So, my dear Eleanor Zitao - you're home. Welcome home. Welcome to your new life with us, and welcome to your new family.
