What a great weekend!!

Emil's family is from Celle, a nearby town, and we've known him for many years through the church in Peine. He was baptized into Christ this past Sunday

Ann-Kristin, from Hildesheim, was also born into Christ.

My parents landed on Monday.

I don't know that my girls have had so many kisses.

What a weekend...

On friday Fiona said she was an ice princess,

all I know is that her sleeves were almost completely blue from wiping her face and asking if her makeup was still on.
