Here's a quick update on our week with the Sem kids. We introduced Kristina to ribs. She did pretty good but did ask where the knife and fork were. After a lot of laughing, we let her know the proper way to eat these.

We visited the Swedish Heritage Center in Oakland.

A trip to Bancroft isn't complete without seeing the tank in the park.


And of course the obligatory stop by the nationally recognized John G. Neihardt museum.

A gift from the locals.

Kristina honored us with some beautiful tunes on the church organ.



Lily did too.


Weslie and Lily have a very special relationship.


It's a little different from the one Kristina and Lily share.

Finnish cinnamon rolls, "Orfilar". Mmmmm!
