2011 was filled with many Rushcapades. Much is missing from our blog archive - like all of May through August. So this year's unpublished picture list grew to more than just the one or two per month I like to keep it to. I decided we needed a three part installment. Part 1 - The Lead Up. Part 2 - Travels, or Insanity. Part 3 - Intro to China. There are many more pictures on our flickr site if you are interested. Hope you enjoy! Make sure to click Read More to see the whole post.
January:
Sisters love each other.
Brian goes to California for his last Jan term and begins the final stretch to graduation.
Shannon has her first skype interviews for international school jobs.
February:
Brian and I travelled to San Fransisco for an international school job fair. I had a couple offers and some hard decisions at the end of it. It was also our first time without the girls.
Magnolia celebrated turning 3 twice. Once with family, once with her 3 friends. With family, we played the hand stacking game and ate paninis and french fries.
