 Hi Maddie,

I am going to see you on Saturday.

I will meet you, Will and your daddy at 
The Children’s Creativity Museum.

That will be FUN!!!!

Two days later, on Monday, February 9, I will fly to Stockholm, Sweden.

My plane will leave at 10 p.m.

Do you know that the time in Sweden is 9 hours later than it is here? My plane will get to Stockholm at 5 p.m. Stockholm time on Tuesday, February 10.  It will also be Tuesday, February 10 in California, but it will be 8 a.m. in California.

The sun rises later and sets earlier in Sweden in the winter than it does in California.  When I get to Stockholm, the sun will rise at about 8 a.m.and set at about 4 p.m.  There will be even less daylight at Abisco National Park where I will see the Northern Lights.  The sun will rise at about 8:59 a.m. and set at around 2:41 p.m. there.   That is because Abisco National Park is further north and above the Arctic Circle.

Would you like me to write to you on "For Maddie" when I am in Sweden?  I will also post pictures here if you would like.  You could follow along with what I'll be doing and seeing.


You can write to me on the Comments.  
If that doesn't work, you can write an email to me using your dad's email address.
I will write more on "For Maddie" if you write back to me 


Here are some pictures from Christmas.

 















Someone is missing?  Who is it? 

Not Uncle James and Aunt Rachael.  They didn't come for Christmas dinner
Oh Oh!  It's Will.  Grandma didn't take a picture of Will.  (Bad grandma!)
