Back...

I think we did pretty good.
Nearly 6 weeks on vacation, and we didn't blog about our experiences even once. I'm sure that Beth will have a lot to say about our trip now that we're back, but I'll give you a few of my highlights first:

Taking Matt to Sherwood Forest and him being surprised that it was a real place.
Watching the Eurovision Song Contest with Beth and watching her face when the Ukraine entry was on.
Flying to Finland to see good friends and enjoy VERY hot sauna.
Attending a friend's wedding in the middle of Leicester Square in London.
Spending lots of time with my family.
Going to see Maximo Park with Brett and Laura.
Watching Brett play basketball.
Seeing Addie go nuts when I caught her a fish.
Hearing Addie learn new words.
Drinking plenty of English beer and cider.
Completing some nice tattoos.
Speaking at Poplars Church.

And much more.

We had a great time, and we are so blessed to have been able to take a break like that. To spend time with people and just chill out as a family for so long. Going back to work on Monday is going to be HARD.
