Easter Fun

Carinas Soccer Team got tickets to a Major League Game and we brought Thomas along. It was really great! My first Professional Game and the kids too. The only thing is that it was Freezing!!! Hey, we live in Denmark, what else should we expect?

Stuff...

It's kindof tricky to stay current with this thing. Maybe also it seems kindof boring, what's current. At any rate, I need to keep things coming so I'll work on a few random posts with random things.
First picture is of our one and only snow storm this year. There was about 2 inches and the kids were so excited they gathered up snow from the yard and packed it on the steps to make a makeshift "hill", with a small jump at the bottom naturally.
Next is Carina's soccer team, Kids at Schoen Bruen in Vienna Last summer, and one of my favorites, Marcus helping me "navigate" last summer on our trip. He loved it. I think the recessive "travel" gene that his grandfather and father have, has been passed on another generation. (Especially when it's on an adventure in the Fatherland!)

School Pictures

I know, I know, it's been a while. The kids just got their school pictures back and I though it would be fun to post them. Yea, they're growing like weeds, but good little weeds with nice flowers on them. Marcus didn't get any but we're working on something.

Persistence

Ok Ok Ok Quinn, you are one persistent young lady (as your parents and your new bedroom will attest to). There will be more to come very soon!!

Grandpa Ream

Our Grandpa Ream passed away on Wednesday, Dec. 19th 2007. He was 92. All the kids were able to visit him before we left last year. He was a great person and we will miss him a lot. Since we've been here Pennys had a grandmother and a grandfather pass away also. It was SO wonderful that we had those last months with them here. I guess you can't be everywhere at once!

tis the season.....

Uganda, Afrika (yes, spelled with a K in Danish)

Pernille went to Uganda for 2 weeks to work in a shelter for homeless and handicapped people. Our friend here in Denmark, Lisbeth, owns, funds, and runs the shelter herself. It's very small compared to the need there, but hey, you do what you can, right?? Needless to say, Pernille had a great time and some wonderful experiences! I'm sure she'll write more later. (can you find her in the last picture? click on it to enlarge if you like)
