My mom could not have thought of a better name for her visit with Aunt Wende to come visit me in Copenhagen this past week: Sunlight Shortage Tour 2010. I remember sending her an email back when they were planning the trip saying, "Well Mom, if you come in November there will only be a few hours of light for us to work with." Her response was simply, "We're prepared to be the best Vikings Denmark's ever had." And that they were. Having Aunt Wende and Mom here was truly such a special treat that I enjoyed beyond belief. It was so nice seeing family and have the hugs that I have missed so much. We planned a special event every day and did as much as we could in the eight hours of sunlight available. They were great and I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to
show them around my "Fall 2010 home."
