While brushing his teeth one night, Bremen look up and said, "Mommy, daddy, I don't need parents anymore. I am a big boy. I can take care of myself."

Bremen celebrated his 4th birthday in Slovakia. We hadn't discussed having a party with him, but while picking him up from school one day last month, he pointed to one of his friends and said to us, "He is coming to my dragon birthday party." So, we had a party. Bremen invited six of his friends from school and one of the families from church.

He loved having his friends at his house. A swimming pool, slip-n-slide, dragon pinata, water balloons, hot dogs, corn-on-the-cob, cake, ice cream and two hours later, we were exhausted.

dobre rano ... ako so mas?

Okay, let's see if this will actually work. Success being defined as being able to keep up with posting to this site. As you may know, we took a 12-month assignment with my company in Slovakia. We are now into our third year. The family, I'm sure, were not too thrilled with the idea of us moving 6,000 miles from home.

We've enjoyed the first two years and are actually considering a fourth - surprise, surprise for those of you back home that didn't know this piece of information yet. There are still a lot of unknowns that need to be resolved before we make that decision. We will keep you posted.

The purpose of setting this up is to keep the family back home aware of the daily happens of the Lambson Family in Slovakia. Now you will no longer have to sit around wondering ... What is the Lambson Family in Slovakia up to today?

Today's Slovak Lesson: "Bremen" in Slovak means, "burden". We just found that out this week. Isn't it funny that it took two years before anyone told us that?
