Sampsa's German Interview

Tooth and Claw: SAuvo's Interview from Germany

First Visit to Finland

Today is Friday, my wife's favorite day of the week.

We are taking a break from the tour this weekend. Sarah's invited her father to come spend the weekend with us. He'll be visiting Finland for the first time so she's making a list of things to show him and take him.

I never thought of Finland as a place to "do things", but Sarah can find something entertaining to do anywhere. She puts joy into everything she does so I'm sure we'll enjoy whatever she decides to do.

Henna's got the hiccups and it's making her laugh. She's so much like her mother.

First Team Xtreme Blog Post

I get to be the first one to post since we found out that the Boys' Blog is being converted into the Team Xtreme Blog. I'm very excited about keeping you updated on all the behind-the-scenes shizz.

Our fearless leader, Mrs. Auvo is making spaghetti for us crazy bastards. Or pasghetti as Emma calls it.

It smells really good so...

RF Yahtzee tournament starts now!!!

Halloween costumes are picked. For us "adults" anyway.

Yahtzee

I spent the day playing soccer and Yahtzee with Jean, Sarah, Sampsa, Storm, and some of their friends and bandmates. We played three full games of Yahtzee and Sarah won at least two games and I think Niko won the other.

The new babies, Sam (18 days old) and Henna (13 days old), are growing like weeds. Sarah is telling the truth when she says that Henna looks just like Sampsa. She's like a little clone of him. Sam looks a bit like Marcellus, but not as much.

I want to say thank you to Sarah for letting us keep the layout. Hopefully you'll be able to get rest soon. ;-)

Layout Change

Hello, everybody.

I just wanted to let you all know that the layout will be changed.

The cute, goofy one that's up now was chosen by Emma, who is not entirely equipped to make that kind of decision.

I will have it nice and respectable very soon.

I Have To Admit...

I'm sitting here watching my eight beautiful babies, their mother, her husband, and their new baby girl.

I have to admit that I'm happy.

Hannele is gorgeous and Sarah is more than happy. My angel and all of my kids are healthy and happy. I couldn't ask for more.

Don't blame Sarah and Sampsa for our separation. None of it was her fault, all of it was mine. Sampsa and Jean-Claude had very little to do with our decision.

I think Sarah and I were lying to ourselves, or at least I was lying to myself, about why we were still together. She was trying so hard to just be happy and comfortable with me... I didn't notice that until I saw her with Sampsa.

I fully support Sarah's marriage to Sampsa, as she fully supports my newly official relationship with Jean-Claude.

Their relationship probably seemed sudden to all of you, but really it was no surprise to those closest to them. Sampsa lets Sarah be herself and be comfortable with who she is, an 18-year-old girl who still needs to find who she actually is.

I'd wish them luck, but I don't think they'll need it.

BLOG NEWS! I'm not good at keeping up with this blog by myself so, Jean came up with this plan last night.

Jean-Claude, Sampsa, and I will share the blog. SEH's babies-daddies sort of thing. Oh, she's going to hate that I even typed that.

Stay tuned for a revamp of the blog, hopefully by the talented woman who designed the other blogs. ;-)

What's your favorite insult?

Bailey's coffee creamer is AMAZING! Hazelnut is my favorite. Working contently. :-)

"That's the way I like it, baby. I don't wanna live forever."

MOTORHEAD!!!

"He's got swiss cheese on his alternator!" You have to love Sarah.

I make some darn good spaghetti... if I may say so myself. :-D

Traffic jam in Beijing is 62 miles long and has lasted 10 days. They say it won't be cleared until mid September. :-O
