Dear Friends,
Amazingly enough, another year has gone, and we're still in Malaysia. This is the longest period of time in one place for us as a family! We've really enjoyed this chance to settle down and make our home.
All three of our boys are in the International School of Kuala Lumpur as Patrik started in Kindergarten this year. Markus is in sixth grade and Janne is in fourth. They're doing well and enjoy the international atmosphere at school as well as the alrge variety of after-school activities on offer. Riitta spends her time in school related activities and transporting the boys to and from their many functions. I am still workin for the same company, in charge of the operations in Malaysia.
We'll be going to Finland for Christmas for the first time since we moved to Asia. This year is special, as it's my mom's first Christmas after my father passed away earlier this year. We'll be spending Christmas Eve with her. We're hoping for good winter weather, as we'd like to give the boys a chance to do some skiing.
Have a peaceful Christmas and a blessed new year !
Riita, Matti, Markus, Janne and Patrik
