Zai jian and so long

Today we saw two lots of our family off at the airport for exciting adventures overseas. First, Tim flew out to Shanghai to begin his stint as a locally engaged staff member with the Department of Immigration. Being a Bryant affair you could almost bet your house there would be a few tears shed, and yes there were, but all told I think it was still pretty dignified. The hankies were quickly put away, but as Isobel commented, its just no fun with half our siblings away, the family jokes just aren't as funny....

Next was Jenna and Jay who are leaving on a jet plane to Washington where Jenna has been posted with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and where Jay will hopefully land a job working at the Smithsonian with his stellar reference from our National Museum (lets just hope it's roof is more architecturally sound than ours!).

Good luck and much love to all three of you.
You will be missed greatly by us all.
