Lyndon heads East

Lyndon is off to China today so the girls will be fending for themselves for a week or so.  Usual preparations are in place:  Chart for Ella to count the days until Dad gets back, lots of short cuts for dinner in the freezer, the promise of a Mulan Barbie from Shanghai...  These are the times I reallly appreciate how many times Lyndon empties the dishwasher!
