There's No Place Like Home

Zach and I had a great time visiting family, friends, church, and playgroup buddies in Houston. It was so nice to be back in our house and driving our car, and we enjoyed the break from the cold Norwegian winter. It will be a while before we are able to wear sandals again!

We've been back in Oslo for nearly a week now, but I feel like we are just starting to get back into our routine. Please continue to write, Skype, and call... we miss you all!

Here are some of my favorite pictures and videos from our visit:
