Boa Sorte!


Dianne and Wayne with Grant


Dianne and Wayne with Madelyn, Grant, and Aaron

In case you are wondering, the above Portuguese statement translates to "Good luck!" (thanks, Traci!)

We are sad to bid farewell to Wayne and Dianne, Mike's parents. They leave this week for a six-month sabbatical to Curitiba, Brazil. Wayne will temporarily leave the Smithsonian to conduct research at the Federal University of Parana. He received a grant from the National Science Foundation to fulfill the assigment. We wish them the best of luck and hope they enjoy being immersed in a new culture. (Although, not totally new to Wayne as he served his mission in Brazil as a young missionary.)

Wayne and Dianne, we will miss you so much but look forward to seeing you again and hearing about your adventure. I can only imagine that it will be a wonderful experience. We hope you have a great journey! Safe travels!!
