Pictures...

As promised here are a few pictures

A story before bed

Ready for lunch

Always inquisitive

Rockin' the saucer

Who could resist those blue eyes...

Sleeping beauty

We give thanks...

Today we wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! (This picture is of us the day we arrived- with the load of stuff we drug through the airports.) We miss our family & friends very much but had a lovely day with new friends here. And we are thankful today. For our Savior, who is with us wherever we are. For the opportunity to seek and serve Him, and the blessing to do so publicly without fear. We are thankful to be here together and enjoying good health. Thanks for your prayers for us. We hope you have a blessed day as well. Enjoy some pictures of the munchkin...

Snow day?

As I type it's about 30 degrees here in our little corner of Germany and snowing. Not heavy snowfall mind you, just some snow. Mr. M's boss called him earlier to advise him that they are likely to be told to stay home tomorrow because of the snow conditions as we are expecting 4-6" overnight. What??? This may seem reasonable to some, but to us it is downright strange and pretty funny. This is in light of the fact that last winter in beautiful Spokane, Washington we got over 9 feet of snow throughout the season, sometimes as much as 10" in a single day. With all that snow there was only one partial day that they were told to go home, when the plows finally could not get out to the road they were on. AND that is the only "snow day" my hubby and his co-workers had in the seven years we were there- they average 50-60" annually. What a change.

But I have to admit we are all a little excited about the prospect of him getting an extra day home with the family, so here's hoping.

Coming soon to a blog near you...

Just wanted to let you all know (all 3 of you) that I know that you are only here for the pictures, and I will try to get them up very shortly! I kind of killed our laptop...containing our pictures and now need the assistance of a skilled I.T. type person to retrieve them. Working on it!

Maiden voyage!

Well, here it is! My first BLOG. Feels kinda new & exciting. My dear friend Becky finally talked me into this, and it took a lot less time than talking me into a myspace page. (Thanks Beck!) Of course I am an ocean away now, that probably helped. But more about that later.

So what to blog about? hmmm. Maybe a bit of advice. If you move thousands of miles away from everyone you know, bring your Bible and your Ipod. Both are incredibly comforting and transport you from a foreign land to the warm embrace of familiarity. (If you can only bring one, bring the Bible- it comes with great company!)

Short and sweet seems about right for now, so I will check in later when I have more to say (and we all know that won't be long...)
