Few days ago I took Matthew and Timo outside for an attempt to take some photos of them. I haven't had professional pictures taken of the kids for a long time..actually I am embarrest to say that we have only have a picture of Matthew when he was 3 months and his school picture when he was 3. So I was very motivated to see if I could try to get a good picture of Timo myself. I was pleasently surprised that the pictures turned out so good. I still have to do some editing in photoshop (if I ever have ANY TIME...)

My Sisters Visit
Reina and Kirsti came to visit us a week a go for 3 days and it was great to have them over. It was fun to be together again after the long time. We had a fun time playing scattegories with motified rules that you could write stuff in Finnish or English. We went to see few local attractions. The weather was rainy most of the time so we couldn't do all we wanted, but we did see the Iorgo Springs, The Lumberman's monument and drove by the beaches. I also showed one of the houses to them that I put an offer on, but they didn't accept the offer...oh well... I was very grateful that my sisters came to see their youngest sister all the way in Michigan. Reina came from Las Vegas and Kirsti from Finland. We also were able to bless the baby last Sunday which was a special experience. Here are some pictures from their visit.
