Following Paton’s birth, the weeks seemed to evaporate and we were soon on a plane heading back to Cambodia. My mom generously offered to accompany us on our journey and provide much-appreciated assistance as we transitioned back to life in Phnom Penh. Here are some photos from those first few weeks.

Yes! I think that most international flights have the option,
