Wordless Wednesday

New Road

The Good
We speak German!
Made amazing friends
Got to live, eat, breathe Germany for 3 years
Martin had a great job
The places we did visit were beautiful 
Had a few lovely visitors Maggie, Nana & Poppi, Mom, Denise and Paul

The Bad
The kids are a bit rusty in English writing skills
I still can't read all of the school papers, which is aggravating
The house had virtually no real yard, I miss having grass
It's not as fun to travel as I thought it would be, especially with 4 kids
It is so easy to loose touch with people.
No one ever calls (Well actually 2 people do, you know who you are)
Many talked about coming to visit, few made it over

What I have Learned?
How to ask for help
What it's like to be an alien in a foreign country
There are still places in the world where children can come home when it's dark out

Batman Live

 All of the Colorado cousins were treated by Grandma and Aunty Denise to Batman Live.  It was a great production, filled with acrobats, costumes, magic tricks and the beloved Batman.











We all really enjoyed watching the performance together.


Some were a more vocal about their excitement than others.....

On The Road

Zoo

After our journey we were very warmly welcomed by all of our Colorado family. After a restful night sleep we spent our first day at the Pueblo Zoo, with Aunts an Uncle, and cousins.
