Happy Holidays!

Hey y'all! Ok so i've been slacking more than ever on this blog...we've been very busy with 2 games a week and traveling... Spirou has been doing very well, only losing one game to Antwerp in the Belgian league and winning all of their ULEB Cup games! We both just got home lastnight from Bamberg Germany where they played on Tuesday night. Luckily Germany is close enough that I actually could drive there, Matt Walsh's girlfriend, Lauren and I made the 5 1/2 hour drive there. We were also lucky enough to get to hang out with Wes and the rest of the team at their hotel, so that was a lot of fun =) Wes is very excited for this "much needed" break! His back was hurting him pretty bad, which made him have to sit out of one game, which just happened to be the Antwerp game they lost..If he had to sit out of any game, that would be the one..haha! His back is feeling much better, I think his entire body could use a few days rest though...

I actually did decide to go to Ireland at the end of November. Tiffany and I had the best time, I absolutely LOVED Dublin!!!! It's now one of my favorite vacation spots. Ireland is very beautiful! I can't wait to go back in March or April! 

The dogs are both doing very well..Stella is now mastering the art of "fetching" and she's now able to go for walks...before she didn't really understand it and tried to resist. Bentley is definately smaller than her now so it's fun to watch them play and have her dominate him... lol! They are going to be staying at a very nice Doggy Daycare in Aalst while we're home for Christmas...actually they'll be staying there for half the time and then the other half they'll be staying with Charlotte. I guess the daycare walks the dogs up to 5 times a day so looks like they might be exhausted by the time they go to Charlottes! 

Well we leave for the airport early Sunday morning and should be in Omaha around 8pm that night....by now we've kind of learned not to expect to be home on time when you're traveling during the holidays, but hopefully we make it home as close to that time as possible! =) Can't wait to see everyone!!!! We are soooo excited! Love you all! Those who we won't be able to see we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year!!!! Love, Lins and Wes
