Family, Friends and FOOD.
And without family around us much, friends and food become SO important! So yesterday we rearranged the furniture, brought in some extra tables, cooked and cleaned up a storm, got a little crafty, and opened our home to our wonderful expat family. It was truly an amazing day. I think the pilgrims and my mother would have been proud. Yes, 22 adults and 30 children. That's what I said.

In Singapore many families have a helper that lives with them.
