For the past year, Haakon's brother and his wife Lexi have lived with our family. They came up to Alaska while they applied to dental schools and worked up here, earning extra money to get them get ahead before they begin four more years of school.
We loved having them around and the kids became very close to them.
Right before they left, Lexi's family came up to tour around for a while and enjoy Alaska in all it's beauty. When they got back into town we all went to dinner at Moose's Tooth Pizza. It was delicious!
Here they are trying to get the last of their stuff to fit into the back of Brett's truck.
It was impressive what they were able to fit in there!
Hugs and kisses all around when they left.
As it got closer to the time when everyone would be leaving all the smiles and goofing around turned to tears. Our children had become very attached to Brett and Lexi and it was very hard to see them leave.
After they left, Torsten wanted to cry in private.....
while Lauren wandered around the yard sobbing loudly and dramatically.
Brett and Lexi are missed tons and we hope that they come back soon! :)
