Finally... the Visit Post
Man... January and February flew for me! With moving, starting a new job, two consulting gigs, and my parents in the States... HECTIC. It was a lot of fun though and here is the long time coming recap.

Weekend of January 18-20 kicked it off. My parents flew into Chicago, and right away living in South Bend worked out well. It was quick to get Novali and meet my parents. We got some hotel rooms and Heather also drove out to meet us. We had a good time just lounging around and spending time together. The hotel had a cool pool area and of course Novi went in like twice each day!

The following weekend I picked up Novali and we all met up again in the Saginaw area. We started the weekend in Jackson at Heather's apartment where Novi did some more cooking. She made us some homemade pizza that was delicious! Saturday we met my parents, my sister and her kids and the DeCourval's in Frankenmuth. It was their annual ice sculpture contest so it was busy. We walked around and enjoyed the little town and the girls all got to have fun with animals, riding horses, and running around together.


While my parents were in the midwest they used one of my cars. So having two does come in handy at times. It just took some coordination but it all worked out for them to get to visit and do all the things they wanted. After their two weeks here they flew off to the East Coast to see the Centellas family out there! We had a ton of fun with them here and we can't for their next visit, and even more so when I can get to take Novali to Bolivia!

I posted some photos. on Novi's site: January 2008

Life has been hectic... it might not slow down for a while, but at least now its a little more tame. I will try to start posting a little more on my blog. This past weekend I was in Chicago for a conference and got to spend all of Sunday with Novali. I like being so close that I can hangout and not worry about how late I will get home. This next weekend Heather is coming and we have Novali for the weekend and that will be a lot of fun! So more photos coming soon...
