It has been a few weeks since we posted anything and there is good reason for that. We have been busy.

A quick glimpse of the what is happening in our life right now:

• Scott is going in for Lasik surgery tomorrow morning to hopefully rid himself of contacts/glasses that he has had for the past 19 years.
• John, Stephanie and their daughter Katie are visiting us now until Sat. am (John is my brother's best friend and what I consider my other brother).
• We are going to get our Russian visas tomorrow (if I can get Scott's without him being there otherwise he will get his Friday)
• Libby is traveling to South Africa for the next 8-10 weeks (on and off)

So lots going on in the next week!

This past weekend we had a great time though as we were in the US. It was a semi-surprise visit as my family knew that we were coming in and Scott's mom did but the rest was really a surprise.

We landed Friday afternoon and ran a few errands before heading off to Yankee Stadium to watch the NY Yankees vs. Seattle Mariners. The YANKEES WIN!

Saturday morning we jetted off early (7am) for Binghamton, NY to watch Ryan (Scott's brother) and Kayla (my cousin) row in the NY State Collegiate Rowing Championship Races. We only watched the heat races since the finals were on Sunday and we were not staying over night for that. Iona College's rowing team did extremely well in the heats! Congrats to all! Saturday night we had friends over for dinner and then headed out to the local bowling alley and bowled 3 games and had a good time!

Sunday, Scott and I met our friends Andrea and John (Andrea is due in August) and gave them a baby gift as I will not be able to make it home for the shower. We had a lovely time with them and it was great catching up with friends!

Monday we met an architect about renovations to our house and should hear this week on pricing, etc. for the architect and within a month have drawings! We can't wait!!!! We then just rand some errands and packed for the airport to fly home.

It was great seeing everyone at home and Scott and I are more excited as the time ticks down to move back to the US! 7 months and 3 days!
