In 2008 we moved from Canada to Kenya. As part of that transition Lisa began to write weekly posts to a blog. The purpose was to share stories of our life with family far away, and to create a legacy of memories for Max and Simon who were just 8 and 10 years old.
For ten years, in three countries, we have continued to write about our adventures, our challenges, our transitions. Every year we made a book copy of the blog posts so that we would have something tangible (for us old folks). The blogs continue to live online.

But there will be no new posts from now on. Max is 20 years old. Simon is 18 years old. It has been an incredible journey with them but they are independently living their own adventures now and, undoubtedly, archiving their stories in a way that makes sense for each of them.
And so we say goodbye to a 10-year old tradition. Tim and Lisa will continue to live and work in Ho Chi Minh City. Max and Simon will continue to live and study at University of Waterloo in Canada. We will continue to be a family with stories to tell.
