The reason Vin went back to Taipei was to, primarily, teach a 200 hour class that registers yoga instructors with Yoga Alliance. This is a pretty big deal in the yoga world and rather important for him to be the instructor to the instructors (makes him more valuable than he already is and easier and better qualified to work world-wide, ya know, like Saskatoon). Normally these 200 hours are in 1 month and those taking it must take a month off work. With the economic situation like it is most people aren't prepared/able to do that so Vin will teach it over the course of 3 months. It starts in May and ends sometime in July.
So, Vin will be here on February 12 (his 35th birthday!) and stay until February 26th. It's a bit shorter than we'd all like, but we'll make the best of it and spend lots of time doing fun things with the boys. Atticus will have his 2nd birthday on the 22nd so it'll be great to have his Daddy here for that. He'll have to go back to Taipei for an even longer stint than this last time (4ish months instead of 3ish), but will have SO much prep work to do (he has to prepare all the material) he'll hardly have time to sleep. And then he'll be knocking himself out actually teaching the 200 hours . It'll be hard for us all (especially him), but we'll get through it and appreciate him all the more when we're all living under the same roof.
Dillon (and his Grandpa!) will have his birthday July 9, but since Vin won't be done teaching the 200 hour class by then he'll come back for Dill's birthday (and his Grandpa's!) and then go back to Taipei to finish off the class. Once the class is finished in July we plan to get this family back together on the same soil. We don't know exactly what that will look like, but this summer should be one of discovery, change, and togetherness.
So, 7 sleeps until Vin comes and we couldn't be more excited.
