Sabbatical 2012

Sally received a Fulbright Fellowship to teach and conduct research in Iceland for 5 months starting in January 2012. Luckily, Shan, Alex (age 12), Joslyn (age 9) and Spencer (age 5) can accompany her on this adventure. This blog will allow family and friends to keep up with the trials and tribulations of our escapades in Europe.

9 Days to Go!

Merry Christmas to all. We have been traveling since the 21st to the Denver area and down to the family farm. We have seen family and friends, visited the Denver Zoo lights, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, played board games with friends and had lots of good food and beer. Christmas eve and day were spent on the farm with all of Shan's mom's relatives. We will be heading to Denver to see Sally's family for a few days before heading back to Gunnison to pack for Iceland.
One new twist to our plans is that Spencer needs to go in for surgery on the 29th. He is having another tube placed in his eardrum and his upper throat will be scoped to try and diagnose why he keeps having ear trouble. When we went to Spencers' ENT appointment on Friday morning, his doctor wanted to see him again in 6 weeks to decide whether surgery should happen sooner or later. But with us all being in Iceland, Dr Hogle was able to squeeze Spencer in 6 days later, especially with all of the flying we will doing in the next few weeks. Hopefully, Spencer will be as ideal of a patient as last time and recover just as quickly. Not exactly what I wanted 5 days before we leave the country but it should help Spencer hear better (again).
