finland & france

finland won the eurovision song contest!! ph was super excited about this, despite being a eurovision skeptic. we didnt care for the song itself so much... but the costumes & concept were so over the top you had to laugh, and laugh we did.. personally i wanted lithuania or germany to win, but what can you do? france had an extraordinarily boring song, and held last place.

speaking of france, we just got some tickets to go visit the family there in the second half of june, we are looking forward to that. we also have a weekend trip planned to visit our friends olive oil farm in the western pelopponese (near kalamata) and lucas will take his first dip in the sea at a place called cow's belly.

but thats all in the future, this sunday we're having a first birthday party for lucas. lots of stuff to do before then.
