Hello from the almost empty nest in D'dorf. As you all well know, but not as well as we do, Anne and the boys left today to California. This trip has been a long time coming but is now 'unterwegs' as we say here Germany.
After lots of prayer and waiting for the right time we had to 'drop the bomb' on Karis. You see she was not able to go because she has to go to school. She took the news really well. Of course after the 'why's and the tears we hugged and gave here 'great and precious promises' to live by for the next 3 weeks. Promises which include: Oma coming over and spoiling her for a week, going swimming (indoor of course), taking her friend Lukas and her to a jumphouse, checking out an local aquarium, and visiting a family from the church for dinner (they have 4 kids).
I didn't know how busy the first day would be. We went to bed late, got up early and it was time for 'fruestuck'
Zeeky and Kaleb were excited and ready to eat. Zeeky was so excited he didn't even eat much of his normal 'Schoko Musli' but it takes a lot for Kaleb not eat his 'Zimtos' (Generic Cinnamon Toast Crunch). Kaleb has been really looking forward to going to California. He has fond memories of English speaking cousins, lots of hugs, kisses and tickles; Disneyland, good American food, lots of new toys, Nanna, Pappa, Aunties, Uncles and new friends. In fact when Anne asked him if he would mess Karis and I, he simply replied 'No'. We asked him again later and he said he would after all. Whew...Thanks for praying. The morning went well. We got off to the airport on time and made good time to Cologne Int. Airport.
The boys had fun running around at the airport. Karis and I had a fun day, we were both tired and already missing our #1 women and those two crazy boys.
We made the time go by in this way:
- We came home and ate noodles
- We did crafts
- We colored
- We played Yahtzee!
- We watched T.V.
- We drew pictures
- We cried
- We laughed
And now we wait for word from our loves ones.
We love you guys and we have you in our hearts every moment till we see you wonderful smiling faces!
