Farewell, DINK Life!

Isabel and Jett Rao

DINK = Double Income, No Kids.  I’ve said goodbye to my work colleagues as I embarked on my 12-month maternity leave.  Now it is time to say goodbye to DINK life.  Jett and I cannot wait to meet Baby Girl this week and to start writing our next chapter.  Wish us luck!
