Lahti living

There have been so many new and fun experiences here in Finland. I have learned some new things about myself and also about our girls. They are very tolerant with change. They are stronger than me. They miss Utah and of course family and friends. Eila drew a picture for Abby today that she wants to mail off. It's a picture of Ariel from the Little Mermaid.

We have been playing in the snow a lot. There is so much snow here that when it melts I am worried of a flood! It's not to cold but it is a little windy because we are near a big lake. Our area is so beautiful. It has a large playground and lots of grass/trees. We are going to get bikes this year so that we can get around quickly without driving. So many people here ride bikes in the snow. I am always worried they are going to fall.

Antti has had a few golden nuggets in regards to jobs but we found out today that his CDL license in Finland does not transfer over exactly. He gets dropped down to Class B license. I guess that means he has a weight limit on the vehicle he can drive. He will be checking out the courses for completing the requirements. In the meantime he is still searching for something to earn extra money.

I wanted to show a few pictures of the city we live in. I will put up pictures of our apartment soon.

The last 3 pictures are right near our house . The building all lit up is the Sibelius House. There you can see musicians play. It's made of wood inside for better sound but the outside is made of glass. We live behind that building.
