It has been a crazy crazy past seven days! We left Santiago, Chile last Monday, and arrived in Bellingham exactly 25 hours later. It was great to be visiting with family, and enjoying the heat. The first few days I played and played and played with my cousin Cole and cousin Emily at my Uncle Steve's house. I was also able to see my Auntie Elizabeth, new cousin Iris, and grandma. Wow, so much is going on.

Over the weekend, we had the annual family reunion - this time Uncle Troy and Aunt Lisa did a wonderful job planning and organizing. The only difficult part was the 100 degree heat; and Pa, and a few others are sick; including, me with a cough that just won't go away. Tomorrow we return to Seattle/Bellingham, and will try to do 10,000 things! Pa leaves late Wednesday to go up to Canada, and ma and I will join him on Saturday - then back to Chile.

There are still so many friends for Pa and Ma to (try) to see next week: The Whipples; Carlsons; Troy; Lori; more of Elizabeth; Jeff and Aaron, Melanie; and many others. It wil be a busy few days!
