last days in singapore

nicole snapped a photo of our family and my 20 week belly after church on our last sunday in sing...

we packed in three piles: six weeks' worth of living (turned out to be more...), ship across the world, and give away. sage was a cute helper, but not a helpful one.

we swam and barbequed one last time with friends who were in town. lindsay and nathan were so kind to host at their beautiful pool.

hugs all around. 

on our last night, my talented and darling chef friend lindsay made a gourmet 13 course meal for us and the roberts. i was blown away by the perfect flavors and thought that went into each dish she prepared. she included all our favorites (lobster, steak, mushrooms, french cheese, mashed potatoes) and even made two different dessert courses--fruity for nate and chocolatey for jess. i won't forget this incredible meal or sweet lindsay. also, i'd like to have fresh lobster smothered in buerre blanc maybe every day. just a few glimpses of lindsay's talent...

let's excuse the terrible lighting -- we love you, linds! 

those last two weeks went by so quickly. sage had play dates every day while i searched through over 2,500 craig's list housing posts and tied up loose ends around singapore, all while nate spent the week in bangkok on his last business trip.

i miss all those amazing friends already!
