Life is moving along here in Wisconsin. I still get frustrated of trying to organize our apartment and try to fit everything in here, and find stuff that have been lost due to our move (which is so frustrating..can't find our passports..so they better show up somewhere before our Finland trip next summer). However, I have made some progress, and got some bookshelves organized today, and some kitchen cupboards. If there is ever a show that gives an organization makeover I would be a perfect canditate for it. With all the moving we have done, I always find it hard to find a right place for everything.

So, the other day Bobby came home with a candy thermometer, and he made some carmer popcorn balls. We are developing a new hobby of making candy together, which is fun. Last night we made some yummy carmels together, and gave some to our neigbors for Family Home Evening tonight.

An other random thing is that I found an international store just few miles from our house that has Finnish rye crackers that I've missed and salt licorice (salmiakki) that I have missed too. Now I can get them when ever I want and not get too deprived :)

A week ago we found out that Timo is allergic to mosquitos. A week ago at church he had a huge pulge on his forehead and it looked like he had hit his head pretty hard about 1.5 inch wide bump. Later we found that it was a mosquito bite, and he got an other huge one on his cheek. We have quite a bit of mosquites where we live (not like the woods, but we have a large grassy area behind our house with trees and a river). Now I need to make sure Timo has mosquite repellent on when we go to the park etc.
