Relaxed in Houston, March 7 - April 3

We stayed with my sister, Kylie, brother-in-law, Jon, and their dog, Aura, in Houston for almost one month. We had quality family time while also relaxing after a hectic couple of months of preparation. Many days consisted of Kylie and I (Melissa) attempting a French lesson on the computer (we need a lot of help), a morning walk/run with Kylie and Aura, afternoon activity or even a little nap (life's tough), cook for dinner (Kylie was the master chef, Melissa was the sous chef), and sometimes we were lucky with dessert made by Jon (he's quite the baker).

Another treat in Houston was that we were able to meet up with Shaheen Ladhani and his girlfriend, Kim. Klas played tennis with Shaheen for a year when Shaheen went to UTM.

Basically, we felt completely at home staying with Kylie, Jon and Aura - we owe them a big thank you. Not surprisingly, saying good-bye stunk so April 3 was not one of the best days in our lives (sob, sob). We're looking forward to meeting up with Kylie and Jon in Paris in July.
