suomi!

we're in nakkila now, enjoying a weekend with kimmo's mom.  we arrived on friday night, after 7 months away from finland.  that is a new record for kimmo!  

the great part was the kimmo's mother was matter-of-fact when we told her it had been 7 months, but then later when we were getting ready for sauna and she asked how long it had been since we last had a sauna, she was stunned and appalled that it had been 7 months.  it was the same reaction i might have had if someone told me that they hadn't trimmed their toenails in 7 months -- like we must be functioning poorly and suffering in some way.
