It has been a REALLY long time since I updated my blog. Here are some pictures of New Years and Winter Camp. I love living and teaching in Korea.

Joshua loved speeding down the hills with me.

Germany made to the finals of the European Cup. They lost to Spain in the final, but we had a lot of fun cheering them on along the way. The older girls came over for one last overnight, and we had a lot of fun baking peanut butter cookies, playing games, and taking some Germany pictures.

I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. I am leaving Germany in less than two weeks, so we are trying to squeeze in as much play time as we can before it's time for me to go. I am truly going to miss all of my friends here. Here are a few pictures of the fun times we have together.

Boys Day

On Saturday Dustin, Donovan, and Edwin came to my apartment for a play day. We went on a walk, had a picnic lunch, played with play dough, made frogs out of paper plates, and enjoyed hamburgers and french fries for supper. We had a great time, and we were thankful for the beautiful day.

Woerlitz

2008-05-05T08:49:00.000-07:00

I went to on a trip with the Gruepe family to a city in Germany that is known for their beautiful gardens and old buildings. I enjoyed touring through the buildings and seeing God's creation all day long.

Here are a few of the birds that we got to see at a bird show they had. Some of the birds would fly right at your head and then swoop up at the last minute. We got a very up-close-and-personal look at some eagles, owls, vultures, and falcons. This peacock was running around in the garden behind one of the buildings.

Girls Overnight
