WANT WANT WANT!

Greatest 'invention' ever: FLEECE SHEETS!!! I want them. Need them. MUST HAVE THEM!

Blogging will resume in a few days when we get back to Germany.

Anna's Travel Map

As we head off to Greece this Thursday (at 6:45am! oy!) I started thinking again about Anna's travels. Living in Germany has benefited us in so many ways, but by far I think the best benefit are the travel opportunities. I made Anna a travel map and so far she's been to 5% of the world! It's not the BEST map because it lists Sardinia and Sicily as Italy - and Anna hasn't been to either of those islands.

Next week we'll be in the good ole USA!!! We can add a few more states to Anna's map (like Michigan!).

We had Thanksgiving here yesterday with 9 of our friends and 6 wee ones. I wish I took some photos, but it was a crazy busy day! I think I grabbed one of the turkey on Brian's iPhone so I'll see if I can get him to email it to me.

Wednesday

We're home from Ramstein. Brian's eye surgery went well. He's recovering this week at home. It's nice to have a second pair of hands to chase little miss you know who around. She's a crawling machine!

We're in full on winter mode here. It's been 30s this week during the day and rainy. It even snowed here while we were in Ramstein. I will say if it's going to be rainy, muddy and cold - I wish the ground would freeze!!! I'm so tired or muddy paws, muddy shoes and a muddy yard.

For Thanksgiving we're heading to Greece and then to the US for two weeks in December.

Anna and her overalls - I love them so much I ordered the same pair in 18mo.

obsessed with shoes

If the house is quiet, there are two places you will find Anna. The bathroom - unrolling all of the toilet paper she can get her hands on. Her room - pulling ALL of her shoes out of the drawer.

I think I've trained her well.






Hey mom, you wanna clean this up for me...I'll be in the bathroom if you need me.








and if the dishwasher is open, it's fair game!

Halloween

Today I took the photos off the P&S camera from the pumpkin festival and we took some photos of Anna in the yard looking at the horses and watching the dogs play catch!

I haven't even loaded all the photos to my computer yet!
