Two on one side - 3 on the other
Our baby is getting smaller - but taller! Anna went from the 45th % in weight to 17th. So we get to fatten her up.
Pre-shots
Sums up my day
crazy blue clouds
I love this photo

New tricks
Anna in Michigan.
I taught Anna to go down the step at Grandma Judy's house. I was soooo excited, until she tried to go off the end of the bed in Niagra Falls the same way. Then I thought to myself WHAT DID I DO!?!

Garmisch - New Years and Sledding
A few photos from our Garmisch trip. Like Soccer in Germany - New Years can't be explained - it has to be experienced. I will say my hearing if finally ALMOST back to normal. Almost. People shoot fireworks off everywhere. EVERYWHERE. They don't care if they're standing 5ft or 50ft from you.
Pre-midnight - the smoke is from all the fireworks - after midnight it was 10 fold.

the Zotters and thier blue bullet (they have a VW wagon too)

The US Ski Team stayed at the same hotel as us! Brian claims he saw Bode Miller at breakfast. I missed out.

A real update.
Ok, so more typing less photos in this one. A little update about what has happened recently and what's coming up!
Over Thanksgiving weekend we traveled to Greece with our friend Derrek to visit his friend Susan, she teaches at an English school there. We spent most of Thanksgiving in several airports, but arrived in Greece late that night. Friday morning we headed to Meteora, on Saturday to Delphi, and Sunday back to Athens to catch our flight. It was not what I had in mind when I thought about visiting Greece (heeeello Greek Isles!) but it was nice.
We arrived back in Germany around 11pm, headed home, grabbed our stuff and drove west to Ramstein to catch a flight to the states. Mother Nature had another plan though, she wanted snow and what she wants, she usually gets. On Wednesday we finally caught a flight and were East Coast bound!
We spent a week in Virginia and a week in Michigan rounding out a short trip to Niagara Falls (and checked Canada off Anna's list - I'm sure she will go back).
We arrived back in Germany just in time to celebrate Christmas! But with the jet lag and snow we skipped out on the Christmas Markets. :(
Tomorrow we're off for our annual Christmas/New Years trip to Garmisch. We joked about how we weren't going this year - then our friends Pam and Chris mentioned at Christmas dinner how they had gotten an apartment and wanted to know if we wanted to join them! HELLLOOO YES!! So ...somehow tomorrow we're going to cram 3 people, 2 dogs, and ski gear into the VW. The true test of the VW! I think it's finally time to order the missing brackets for our Thule rack.
.
Happy New Year all! I will TRY to get some photos loaded and some blogging down on the road. :D

Greece Part 2
Look! I found a photo of ME! The skirt - the monasteries require women to wear skirts, so they rent them, for a small fee of a few euro.
Anna and Brian seeing the sights
About the time we were ready to head out of town - the sun came out!
Off to Delphi. You can read all about the town of Delphi, the oracle, and the temple of Apollo riiight HERE
Our hotel
The oracle
Tired baby Anna on the flight home:

Talking to Great Grandma Van on Skype
My first born
I got this Dad
Let me show you how to do it
It has a dishwasher
...and the snow begins. (this is what we had leftover from the snow while we were in the states - plus 2 days of melting)
I have style...I have grace
seriously..stop laughing mom
Opening Oma's advent calendar gift of the day: Bubbles!
I use everything as a phone these days
Cookies from Erika (Ohhhhh sooooo gooooooood)
someone decided she wants a pacifier
soo...she found the top to one of her sippy cups
She's already figured out the part that makes noise. Of course.
Making dinner...like Mommy
