We can't see our actual blog site because all of the routes we used to view it have been blocked by the higher powers to be. So unless you hear that we are back on line - please understand that we are "winging" it with the hopes that the formatting will look fine for you on the "outside". :)
Life is back to normal here. Sabrina and the kids arrived about 2 weeks ago. It took only a couple of days to get their internals clocks re-adjusted. Sabrina flew back with her Uncle Tom and the flight went very smooth. There were not major blow-ups to speak of. I think our kids are becoming routine frequent fliers. Heck, at 1.5 years of age they are already GOLD on Northwest Airlines - so they should be.
To all that we saw this summer while we were back - we just wanted to let you know that we had an awesome summer. It was great to spend time and see everyone. Our friends and our families are what we miss most about the USofA. These are precious times to us and we appreciate all that everyone does for us when we are "on-the-road" but still we feel we are home. We over the course of the summer we spent many nights in many different homes and our kids got used to their pack-n-play portable cribs. Again, thanks.
With that I'm going to close out with just a bunch of pictures randomly taken from different times over the course of the summer. Our babies are not babies any more as you'll quickly see...
Grandma Sandi...
Uncle Chad...
Caden's first haircut was not a pleasant experience...
Angie, one of Sabrina's friends at Jessica's family's cabin on Lake Minnetonka..
The Wixo cabin on Devil's Lake is always a treat. Here Brandon caught a finch that had stunned itself by flying into the window. Obviously his little sister and brother think he is about the coolest ever...

This evening I was looking at the "hit map" of our blog site. I was surprised to see hits from around the world...places like Argentina, Germany, and so on. Not sure who they are...
