Yes, it is hard to believe but Brandon turns 13 on Monday, May 28th. It was a Saturday on a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend that he was born in Grand Forks, ND. These are the times that you remember like they were only yesterday...Grandma & Grandpa Wixo were there at the hospital having spent the night prior at the cabin at Devils Lake, the rest of the family stayed behind and were enjoying the fellowship at the cabin(when it was still on the lake)..."A teenager"...he's been claiming himself to be a teenager for the past two years with a smile and gleam in his eye of course, because the context of the claims were always to justify some action such as sleeping past 10 in the morning or staying up past mid-night when he had a friend over. Now I guess he has a little bit more "horsepower" to go with that claim. Though it still is a bit early for the use of the shaver that he gets as a joke from his grandpa every year for Christmas...
Feel free to call him and wish him a happy B-Day on his day or if you are getting this message after a long holiday weekend, I'm sure he'd be happy to hear a belated birthday wish from you. Send us an email if you don't have his phone number. Or send him an email..his email is

bwixy@hotmail.com.I'm flying back to the US for a business meeting on the 5th of June and Brandon will return to China with me on the 12th of June. Then we'll pack the family up and return the US for Grandma & Grandpa Wixo's 40th wedding anniversary/ bash / fiesta / party and the 4th of July holiday week spent at the cabin. Should be a lot fun for all and a good time for a little R&R.
But that is still a few weeks away and we have a lot of life to live between then and now. So we'll keep you posted.
Brandon HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We all miss you more than words can say or even or do justice to explain, buddy, and we can't wait to see you...
Until next time... Love, Dad.
