BBQ

When Martin returned from Poland we planned a BBQ and I got his favorite, Hamburgers! He decided to man the grill and this is what we got! (He did change a diaper mid-grill, but I don't think there was hope for us anyway) Thankfully I had some chicken on hand and I grilled it, and haven't let him near the grill since.

Pom-Pom

In January Naomi's whole class learned to crochet from her teacher Frau Tulinski. She had a easy way of teaching them and they practiced about every week. The final project that was graded was a stuffed mouse. Naomi choose a multi-colored yarn and for her finishing touches she added google eyes, bows and pompom for a nose. Pretty cute. She got an A+ on this project.

School's Out

I can hardly believe that this school year is over! A HUGE congratulations to the kids for their perseverance and determination! They have exceeded our every expectation and are all speaking German with ease! Not only speaking but excelling! They can count, sing songs and hold a conversation. We need to do something to reward them for all their work! Any Ideas?

The Outdoor Pool

We found an outdoor pool that is awesome! It's only 5 minutes from our house and a few Euro for the whole family to swim. There's a great baby pool, large pool with a huge slide, sand pit, play ground, and volley ball court. One of the most favored areas for the older kids has to be the high dive. There is a 1 meter, 3 meter and 5 meter jump. Silus has done the 1 meter, Naomi and Eyan have both done the 3 meter and Eyan and Martin have done the 5 meter jump! Toben and I like to watch from the sidelines and cheer everyone on.
