Goodbye Guam...

Hello New Mexico!
My parents and little bros have moved again! My dad recently retired from the FBI after 25 years of bustin up the bad guys.
To my delight his new employment has brought the family closer to me!! He will be doing Chinese counterintelligence work at the Sandia Labratory in Albuquerque.
They came for a few days to meet the newest grandbaby,
Iver, so we were able to sneak in a Christmas Eve surf sesh!
It was a beautiful afternoon with a huge pod of dolphins hanging out with us:)
After surfing, we flew to Albuquerque to meet my parents for Christmas!
They had the apartment all decorated and ready for us, it was awesome.
We spent the week snowboarding, rock climbing, longboarding, watching movies,
school shopping, exploring the new city, and maybe pulling a few shenanagins...
Snowboarding is what the boys were most excited about moving to Albuquerque
(other than being closer to their 3 older siblings of course!)
So we hit the slopes hard (2 full days!).
It was a total blast! It was sunny, warm, and beautiful. Sam and Joe were kicking bootay.
We took a beautiful hike on the mountain side right behind my parents' new house.
(Yes, they already found the perfect house and will be moving in soon!)
It was a great way to finish an awesome week with awesome people.
Thanks to my parents for being SO generous and making it super
memorably epic Christmas break.
Here's to seeing you four WAY more often!!

(Snow, surf, skate video coming soon...)

That is so fun that they will be closer to you guys now! How exciting for you. Sam and Joe are so old! But remember what promise/deal you and your mom made if she moved to the states....haha :)
