Portia was thrilled that I had brought "her pillow" camping and was right at home in her sleeping bag.

It’s starting to look a lot like spring!

We finally decided to fix the toilet in the kids' bathroom "for real" because the tank had been leaking for a long time. Well, under the toilet we found a rotten section of floor. So that will have to come out, too...

Our latest soccer outfits took "the long way" across the Atlantic this year. But the kids were thrilled to have a second Christmas in late February! Here they are, all thee, ready to go cheer for Germany! :) Thanks to Tante Kathi and Onkel Benne for the great gifts.
