for a few days after new years day, cara, owen, and I went up to see the Fidlers in Puyallup. It worked out that I could take off from SeaTac to travel back to Amsterdam, while Cara and Owen could head back to Orange County at the same time last sunday (1/7).
We had a blast in Puyallup seeing the immediate family, and Linda and Jamie who stopped by on Saturday night. Owen really enjoyed the big playroom at Grandma's house and seeing his cousins Riley and Macy -- who helped him learn how to play more and be more vocal.. he really grew up some more while we were there.
We also took a trip out to see my parent's new property out on Anderson island, and will be fun for future visits to go check out the progress. I'm including some pictures of Owen and his cousins, as well as a group shot from Anderson island.
In the meantime, I am back in Amersfoort and will be here until the 26th... I've been busy catching up with work and getting back into the swing of being over here in the NL. Also busy planning the next few months -- plans are to be in Norway starting early Feb.. probably two trips of 3 weeks a piece, and Cara and Owen to come over starting mid/late March until early June... very exciting.

Mike,
The northwest has never been the same since you left many years ago. Your life-long ambition to experience a taste of a variety of far-away places has given you the insights and ability to appreciate where you came from and ultimately influence the places you have been. It's always wonderful to have your family with us, and to watch this family share and bond. This natually beautiful place is emptier since the three of you left - and longs for you return...
