We've been traveling a lot this summer: to Maine, to Cape Cod, to the beaches, to Iowa, Minnesota, and to the cabin in Wisconsin. Since Shawn and I missed going to the cabin last summer (the boys went with G'ma and G'pa), we spent almost a full week this year. The weather was endlessly perfect. Jeanne and Pops and Grandma and Grandpa Hemberger joined us for a perfect week in the Northwoods. Lachen and Aksel attended their first pow-wow, and they even danced to a song just for boys about catching fish. Jeanne taught Aksel some of her famous songs. Shawn and Roz beat Jeanne and me in Canasta. The boys caught 45(!) fish one day, and we had a HUGE fish fry of sunfish. Pops and I had a great chat about micro-lending and the banking industry. And everyone left well-fed, relaxed, and sun-kissed. The conversion of the boathouse to the Kids' Cabin is underway. Lachen is already designing a locker system for the cousins (Lachen, Aksel, Jonah, Fredrik, Lexi, and Joe :) Aksel has been officially declared half fish, half dog, and half boy. You do the math. That's right: he really is more than one little body can contain!

I can't wait until next summer when we can join you guys for some north woods fun. I love water skiing! At first glance I thought Reilly was a bear.
