Ah, still good.*

Best buds
Taking a stroll
*Any guesses on the movie?

Life is good!

Starting up again...

Well, Arnold did a great post getting us up to the present but since I don't have any photos from our camera since the post he did I'm going to go back in time again... :) And just to show how far behind I am, I'm posting the last pictures from our trip to Texas in February. Yup! Wow! I'm slow...

Sam and Marie LOVED playing the piano in Texas. They don't have one they can play freely here and they just loved playing Grandad's piano! I think it was one of their favorite activities. Here you can see how much Sam loved it. I hope we can keep this love alive and help it grow for the future!

Time Warp: Skip to Present



Hi World,

here a brief summary of what happened in the last six months: a lot. Hence we are (temporarily) skipping it to bring us up to the current place in time.
We just had one week's vacation and spent a few days of that by going to Bavaria and Austria. We stayed in a hut in the mountains, and had a great time. We also touristed and also saw the Neuschwanstein Castle. It was fun.

Saying Good Bye

It's always fun to go back to Texas since I have so many family and friends there. Actually having grown up there my whole life (that I can remember) it seems more like they are almost all family. These pictures don't do justice to all the people I saw, talked to, and said good bye to, but it shows a little. And you have to have a couple pictures of some cute pregnant bellies! No, I'm not pregnant, I'm just a bit chubby from all the fattening foods I ate on the trip that I can't get in Germany.
Sisters, Sisters! There were never such devoted sisters. Sorry Calli, we wish you could have been there too but I don't think your mission president would have been to happy if you had flown out! We missed you!
Friends together one last time for a while!

Gran's dresses

I think I mentioned this earlier but Gran made dresses for all the grandbaby girls. Here is a few of my favorites... I left out the cute wiggly ones because there were too many.
All three actually facing forward and almost holding still! I got one and only one!
This was easier to do but still not quite successful. Love the bows!
Dancing in circles.


Twirling!
Cute Jo!
Moriah and Jo before we could get Marie up there for long enough to get a picture
and finally the only semi picture in purple dresses with Marie trying to escape.

Update!

Sam's foot is looking so good! I thought I'd take pictures of what it looks like 4 days after the bee sting since I didn't get any right after. His foot looks 200% better than it did when we took him into the hospital and he's finally walking on it again and only complains about it mildly instead of constantly! Yea!
So I know it's not obvious but the bottom of his foot is still a little purple in this one and only in a much smaller area.Here you can see some of the strangeness of what happened to the front of his foot and part of the red area. It basically made 90% of his foot red and swollen.And finally a funny picture of the little guy after a shorter trip into Frankfurt today. They both crashed this afternoon but Marie fell asleep on me and Sam pulled a cousin Jo.
