1 Year and Counting...

 
August 2, 2011- Boarding the plane to Germany
Hello and welcome to our family blog! It's taken us a year, but we figured starting this would make it easier for our friends and family to keep up with our happenings in Germany. We plan to post pictures from our travels, and of course you are guaranteed lots of pictures of the kids. It's hard to believe that we have been living in Heinsberg, Germany for 17 months already, but we are enjoying every minute of this adventure. We have been blessed with great support from afar as well as a fantastic local community and friends. Here's a recap of the past 17 months:
