It was a great surprise this week to have Cannon, Anje and Aaron in town for the week! The sucky part was that it was an emergency trip because Carolyn (Aaron’s mom/my ex-mother-in-law) had to undertake new cancer treatment. When you live across the planet, you gotta’ time your trips since you want to avoid regrets, etc. It’s also tricky seeing them due to their popularity! There’s Aaron’s family, there’s Anje’s family (very nice people!), they have friends like all normal people and jet lag has to be addressed. I think they want to stock up on Dr. Pepper in the bloodstream as it’s very hard to get in Qatar. Maybe it will improve during FIFA hosting days.
They did manage to squeeze me in on Tuesday by coming to the house to see all the improvements Jennifer and I have made: flooring, curtains, some painting, meet the FIVE cats since there were only two the last time, new furniture, etc. It was nice of them to make the effort. I got a second opportunity last night and I really wanted to get Anje the Xmas card she never received despite it going probably around the world before it was rejected and returned to me. Trust me, we made a lot of effort for it, I want to make sure everybody gets a chance to laugh!
This guy is the youngest kid! All three of these brothers dwarf me and will block all my shots!
I lucked out into showing up around dinner time so it was very generous of Anje’s parents to feed me. Fajitas! Yum! Glad to share some more stories, make sure Carolyn has a good prognosis and wish them well on their way to Amsterdam to see my other nephews Wyatt and Hunter. The latter is graduating from school this month.
