And our next posting is….

just make one up!  That is what we are doing!  We had hoped, hoped, hoped to know today and those hopes were dashed once again.

So, instead of bets on when the baby will be born, how about bets as to when we will finally have an onward assignment?  Here are a few options:

• Within the next week or two, when we are "supposed to" (ha, ha) find out;

• When I am smack in the middle of labor, and Peter runs off to eat dinner and just "check email realllly quickly";

• When we are packing out and have completely forgotten we don’t know where we will end up;

• When the plane lands in NYC (or nearby) on the way to DC since Icelandair no longer flies to BWI and well, we have to return to the DC area for some of home leave, even if we don’t (fingers crossed) remain there*!

*Nothing against the traffic, bureaucracy, or schools that claim your completely bilingual child needs ESL classes…we just want to try something new!
