And that's a wrap.

And another year of teaching English on TV comes to a close. Here are some pictures of us after "cut!" was heard for the last time as we wrapped up filming for our 2010 television program. Hard to believe we finished in July this year! We work with a great production team. Thanks for all of your hard work, guys! Filming for 2011 begins mid-September. It will be here before we know it!

Above: We film everything in front of a blue screen, since we work with a virtual set. Here we are with our producer, sound technicians, studio engineers and cameramen (and Snoopy??). It takes a big crew to produce our program!

Above: This fuzzy picture gives you an idea of what our program looks like when it airs on television (of course, it's a clear picture on TV). Most people think that desk is real:)

Home.

At the beginning of June we had the chance to go home for two weeks. After being away for nearly two years, it was just what we needed to feel reconnected, refreshed and reassured that home is always home, no matter how far away you are or how long you've been absent.

It was indeed a whirlwind trip and we didn't get to spend nearly as much time with people as we would have hoped, but it sure felt good to catch up with folks even just for short amounts of time.

Here are a few pics from our brief stay.


With Chip's parents in front of a small portion of their hostas:)

And the Cheatham side: Mom, Cars and Ang

Siblings.

Some of our favorites: The Killebrews, the Tedricks, and the Farwells.

Alissa and Chels at the baby shower Alissa threw for me. Sadly, most of the baby shower pics turned our really blurry, so these are just a few of the clear ones.

Kelley, Chels and Deb.

Also expecting is Emmary! He we are bumping our baby bumps.

The three baby mamas--Jenn, Chels and Em. Jenn's baby just made her arrival, Baby E is still slated for September 1st and Em's is later this fall in November.

So blessed to have such an incredible place and incredible people to call "home."
