I retract the previous message. Here is the updated version:
Hold your horses, everyone--late June to mid July: EV's going home (yes, Singapore)!
I still want play dates! :) Hope everyone will still be around then?
And look, Daddy's comforting words in response to my sudden change in plans (yes, after I had already booked my tickets):
"Sometimes exigencies of work demands require us to be flexible enough to respond to such changing circumstances."
HOW IS MY DADDY NOT THE MOST AWESOME. EXIGENCIES. LOVELY.
