Love + Two

That's right - my title has a capital "G" in the word give. I'm inspired every day at my children's giving heart and thoughts of limitless possibilities. This year, Christmas season will bring the usual Europe Christmas markets, colder weather, and a giving heart. More news to follow - but our family will pull together to Give more this year. God has blessed us in so many ways - it's time we do more. Family Update: This year has been busy with travel for our little family. Tyler is loving the school choir, Awanas, Boy Scouts, reading, and soccer. Avery thoroughly enjoys Girl Scouts, soccer, Awanas, and reading in bed with mom :). Avery recently completed a cheer leading day camp, and loved that too!  Both kids are happy and healthy. We just wrapped up Parent / Teacher conferences. Avery was taughted as smart, strong, organized, kind to others, and helpful. Tyler was lauded for excelling at all subjects, making friends easily, and helping his classmates sta...

Wow!  It's been a long time since my last post. I feel as though our entire world has changed...mostly because we moved across the big pond. This time last year, we were living comfortably on Andrews AFB. Bob worked on base and I worked in DC. We frequented local museums, street fairs, DC races (even completing marathons with friends) and truely enjoyed our extended families within the NCR and Southern MD. We had no idea the Air Force was about to throw a curve ball and send us to Germany. The old saying "life is an adventure" sure showed its colors. I'll try to post more frequently - and capture the many trips we've already taken across Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and France. For now, this quick recap will have to do. It's been a "wow" kind of year.

This snowy weather had our family craving a quick vacation. To quench our vacation-thirst, we took a weekend get-away to Williamaburg, VA.  To make it educational, we started our journey with a trip to George Washingtons Birthhouse. The true house burnt down in the many years after Washington moved to Mt Vernon, but the farm still has several colonial revival style buildings and farm animals to visit. Our trip continued to Great Wolf Lodge where Avery loved the water and characters. Tyler loved the magical quest.  We joined our long time friends, the Buckey family. The trip was well worth the time spent.
