Bom dia - I’m Darcy and I’m an American pretending to be Brazilian as we finish out our expat assignment here in Rio de Janeiro before we return to Houston in July. I have 3 daughters (5, 7, and 9 years old) and 1 husband.

My 5yo just lost her 1st tooth (and then her 2nd only 3 days later wth). This is far earlier than my older kids and so this moment hit me hard out of nowhere that my kids are BIG now. She did promise she’ll always be my baby though so she gets me.

But this makes it feel I am officially returning to the U.S. in an entirely new phase of life from where I was when we left 2 years ago and I have a chance to go through a bit of a self-rediscovery of my own. So I will be an avid reader to see how you do it!
