Brett's back!! This is the camp he was at in Gemünden (near Frankfurt). He met a lot of new people and had some great conversations. He said some of the stuff he prepared was a little lofty for the younger kids, but the old ones seemed to get a lot out of it. It was quite a range--13-20 for two weeks. We're glad to have him back!!

Trying not to worry...

Check out what the dollar is (or isn't) doing.

Sutojo visit!!

It has been a long time since I've seen the Sutojo sisters together. When they were younger, they were an intricate part of the youth group in Peine. They have been off gallivanting the globe for the past year. Okay, so not really gallivanting, more furthering their education in a practical way. Sarinah has been in Malawi, Africa with the Kretschmars (German missionaries) and Sara has been in Sweden working with an architect company. It was most interesting to see how they've grown and to just hang out again. I've missed these girls!

So today I turned three. I'll share my day with you...


!!!!!

My new movie.

Opening my present from my friend, Charlotte, at my party.

Everyone sang to me,

which I liked.



And continued playing with my bike, which no one else was allowed to play with. One time a girl tried to take it away from me, well, she succeeded only because the swings temporarily distracted me. Anyway, I set her straight, but mom made me give it back to her, which I agreed to because I really wanted to swing anyway.

So I was wondering...

What can I do with Fiona when she wakes up from her nap? Go for a bike ride, to the playground. Oh, wait...



I would much rather clean up this mess. The three of us spent an hour cleaning this up yesterday. I know, what is it, right? The contents of not one, but two pillows. The only thing that could have made this worse, is if they would have been filled with feathers. Static-y foam formations were much better.
