Friends

At the playground with the Ballhausen's. We have the best job ever!!

Firsts and Lasts...

I put the pictures on in the wrong order, so if you want to get the whole story, you're going to have to scroll down to the end of this entry.




Fiona in her leotard at ballett class.

Saying goodbye to Tyler at the trainstation

There is some kind of park close by with "wild" animals who know no ones pays attention to the "do not feed" sign.

Tyler reading a goodnight story to Fiona.

Looking good in our 18th week!

Lili and Raj's wedding. Remember them? I wrote about their baptisms a while back.

We also went to Anja, the photographer (her pictures will show up later) and this was one of our poses.

At the doctor, Tyler got to see baby #2 on TV (well the ultrasound). The doctor told us to start picking out girl names.

Jonah was not impressed.

Visiting Joy (and her family) for the first time after Jonah's birth, which obviously didn't phase the girls.

She, of course, loved it.

Watching my little girl grow up at her first ballett lesson. It was hard to walk away and leave her there, but I could tell she really wanted to stay (despite the begging for me to stay).


Actually at preschool. She is in a new group this year, there are twice as many kids and still only two teachers. I'm expecting some attention-getting behavior.

This is Fiona's first day back to preschool, she may not seem impressed, but this next picture will prove her fickle-ness.

Camp Highlight

Fredi decided to spend his birthday differently than most 16 year olds in Germany. With 16 being the legal drinking age, giving your life to Christ is quite the witness. He is a friend of one of the campers and comes from an atheistic family, though, his mom came to support his decision. Be with us in prayer as he begins his journey. He is from Frankfurt, but Brett met him last year at camp and was able to encourage him. Markus Zobec is baptizing him.

Camp, cont'd

Fiona's idea of "swimming", laying on the float. The water, though, is under a refreshing temperature.

Tyler being the helpful guy he is. We have four cleaning groups--so everything gets cleaned everyday, and despite our efforts, a stink still looms...

Aliisa and Lisa sharing their blanket with Fiona.

Getting ready to illustrate a point.

And now, try to put it back in! It's hard to take something back once it's already been said, so we should keep a tight reign on our tongue.

On being at camp...

Brett playing soccer, they're pretty serious about it. Tyler says it's a lot different than playing soccer in the States.

I obviously didn't play, but am just as obviously good at being cute!

Camp picture--no one got thrown in, that costs 50 € with clothes on

Fiona chillin' with the girls. She thinks she's one of them and has quite a few fans.

More has happened and I realize there's only one picture with Tyler in it, but I left my "connect the camera to the computer" cord at home, so more to come later...
