Emma's funny for the day

When Emma gets into trouble, usually from beating her brother, she has to sit in time out and then apologize to her brother.  Today, she was jumping on the couch and after repeated, "Please quit jumping on the couch," she was sent to time out.  Without being told, she walked over to the couch, and very kindly stated, "sorry couch."

Our street (temporary anyway)

This for all those people that said I should bring my minivan.  Yea, I don't think so.  This is the street our temporary apartment is on.(The second photo, in front of the green van, is the door to our building.)  You have to parallel park.  I just don't see a Honda Odyssey fitting anywhere in these spots.  Hee, hee.

Easter Morning

Not only did the Easter bunny leave us baskets full of eggs and goodies, he also left us snow in his wake.  Its just a light dusting, but enough to make is beautiful outside - and well, its also freezing!  What's -2C??  All I know its below freezing.  :) The pictures are the view from our kitchen window.

Frohe Ostern! Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny found us in Germany and Emma couldn't be more excited.  She found all her eggs successfully and even left some for Robert to find.  

We wish everyone a blessed and wonderful Easter.

Making Easter Eggs

After a big day at Horton Hears a Who, (Emma's first movie theatre experience), she got to make Easter Eggs in preparation for the Easter Bunny.  I have no idea who came up with the idea of painted speckled eggs, but I think

 we were successful. 

 

Preschool Days are Here Again!

I can't believe it, but the base youth services group had an opening for Emma in their MWF afternoon classes.  She loves it and it is a battle to get her home after school.  Who can blame her.  You should see the toys and activities they have for the kids.  Emma's favorite part of the day is when she first arrives and she gets to say hi to the rabbit.  According to her, its her favorite and she loves him.  Of course, she thinks he lays eggs - thanks Easter Bunny.

Out and About

Finally after many days of rain, we had a beautiful Saturday, so we decided to take a walk downtown on the main shopping street - Hauptstrasse.  Little did we know, the entire city of Wiesbaden had the same idea.  It was shoulder to shoulder people.  Crazy!  But, Wiesbaden is full of beautiful parks and tons of shopping.  I also think there are hair salons every 3 doors

down, so at least the people look good here.  :)

Happy 1st Birthday, Robert

Robert celebrated his 1 year birthday in Wiesbaden.  His birthday was on Friday, the 7th, but since we did not have a camera until our air shipment arrived, we celebrated it on Wednesday. He was excited either way.  I'm not sure who had more fun, Dr. Emma or Robert.

SOLD!

We did it!  Our house sold and we will be closing on 3/31.  Of course, it took a move to Germany to get an offer.
