Kirsten and I have just come back from a wonderful week in Detroit, Michigan. We actually stayed in a suburb called Grosse Pointe Park with Jennifer, Steve and their children. Some of you may remember, especially if you follow our blog, that we met whilst on the Disney Cruise back last September and they had to leave the ship in Cabo due to their second son, Andrew having Appendicitus. We maintained contact after the cruise and my Christmas present from John was the tickets to go and visit.
The week had been wonderful. Steve and Jennifer are great hosts. Hopefully we didn't get in their way too much. Kirsten is lost today not having her 4 surrogate siblings around. Hopefully they will allow us back for another visit, next time in the Summer and maybe they can even visit us here in Scottsdale or we'll even meet you somewhere.
What a year we had! We started out in the UK for Christmas and New Year 2010 - 2011 then we remodeled the pool and part of the back garden. Now we have just had a fantastic Disney Cruise.
Unfortunately it went down hill a little from there and as you know I currently have John at home with sciatica. Off to the Dr tomorrow and he hopes to be back at work on Thursday although I'm not certain he's going to make it through a full day! Yes, he went back to work and it was a slow and steady recovery. Kirsten changed schools this year and is thriving in her new environment too.
