News up the Wazoo!

After a weekend away, I came home to.... A letter from DARBY HALL!! And lots of other dear friends! Thanks guys! We sure felt loved!
That weekend away was for my little Stephanie Estermann's 7th birthday on Saturday, Nov. 25th. This is her blowing out her candles, with Patrick in the background. I was pretty stoked to get 3 whole days with them in Luzern! I got to see some close friends that I haven't seen in up to 4 and 1/2 years! This picture is with my good friend Roger Blattler who is going to be a father shortly after New Years! Man, we're all getting so old!
Unexpectadly, I also got to enjoy Stephanie's Ballet Recital, and Michael was nice enough to fly me all over Switzerland as he was training another pilot! Very cool. Rumor has it, this house is where Shania Twain lives!


Then, after a crazy & awesome weekend, I returned home (after dinging up the car and getting lost in downtown Basel - ahhhh!) to find out that my brother is also gonna be a father!!!! Nate & Dara are due in June! I can't believe it! Then (after an eventful weekend of lengthy German seminars on"Spiritual Gifts") Kev and I awoke to an early morning phone call from a certain Connie & Matt letting us know they're engaged!!!! Yay! Any more good news and I might just explode!
