I wish I could fully write how fantastic it is to be HOME. I fell in love with our little house all over again, not even noticing it's little quirks (like the squeaky 4th step and bathroom floor, the toilet that runs, and a mysterious ticking noise coming from our closet...) until this week. It's wonderful to have cell phones so I can call my friends and family whenever I want. And, I've gotta admit- it's great to be back in Costco territory too. The only things that I really miss about Germany thus far are our friends and the word "Tchuss" that they use for "see ya" and always say in a sing-song kind of way.
Here are some pictures of our last 2-3 weeks in Germany:
This is Sammy. We got to watch him while his parents were in the hospital having Sammy's new brother Jack!
It was so funny to watch the boys interact. Mostly it was a lot of nonverbal "mine", "no! mine!"
To get the kids out of the house we went to see a nearby castle. (I can't remember the name right now!)
Nathaniel's mom came out to visit the week before we left. We took her out to see Heidleberg. This is Nathaniel doing his best impression of the statue. ;)
This time we took a tour of the castle. This picture is taken from where the moat once was, but then was built up into a library. The picture is of what was toilets before they added the library!
The castle prison, the "seldom empty."
We also took Julie to see the Gutenberg Bibles. Here Nathaniel is once again posing as the statue!
This is William 'helping' mommy pack! He has a particular fondness for hangers. The other day in the car he wouldn't let go of his hanger and so I just carried him into a restaurant with it but Daddy vetoed and took it away. He was afraid we'd look like white trash. haha.
Our last Sunday in Germany we spent with our good friends the Gentils. The girls are so much fun and we'll miss them so much!
Me and William with our good friends Teresa and Zadell (with baby Katherine). I miss them lots!
