Charlie and Nedra came to visit.  It has been wonderful to have them.  

They came for Ike's birthday/baptism, then stayed and helped Mike with the kids while Jill was in Washington with Dri and her mom.  Surprisingly, Mike was still working 12 hour days so Charlie and Nedra would entertain themselves while the kids were at school.

Waiting for the bus.

Ike's baptism.  It was kind of on the fly because Dri got sick so I flew back quickly so we shifted things.  Having our community help me throw a baptism together in two days and showing up is just AMAZING!

Elena made Ikes cake.  It was beautiful and DELICIOUS!

Ike's party.

I took some pictures for Ike's baptism.

The Grandma and Grandpa welcome party!

This happy amazing boy is 8 celebrating him is so much fun.

We love the wildings.  Calvin Steven and Bennett have birthdays boom boom boom. We celebrated with cake and I made many funny T-shirts.  TROGDORRRRR!

I made pumpkin and skull soup.

We went to the castle burning at Bernkastel-Kues.  It was so beautiful.  Rex on the river after the fireworks.

The town is so cute.

This area is known for their wine.  We got grape juice but Rex has a little too much ;)

Waiting with the Bells and Wildings.

Sitting on the river with the castle waiting and playing is just fun.

Mike went to Utah on a layover after his work trip.  He found this cozy rug.

Every month Arabella and I go to dinner.  Restaurant 21 did not disappoint.

The field behind out house in Germany. 

I went back to the states to help my sister out.  She had a serious medical emergency.  Seeing these smiling faces as they met me doing errands was the cherry on top.  Sara, Reagan, and AD are the best.
