END OF THE SUMMER EVENTS....












My big girl!!!




All grown up... :(





My silly kids....





DATE NIGHT WITH MIKE!!





Jackie's First tooth MISSING!!!

WOW! Has it been that long since I have written a new blog? I guess the time has slipped away from me. We have been really busy lately, that I have not been able to sit down and write. Sorry for the delay. I guess I just have been to tired to write...LOL Comes with being a mom.
Lets see, a lot has happened since I last wrote. Jackie lost her first tooth(second is about to come out any day now), learned to ride a two wheeler, and is reading so well. Alex, started soccer, as well as Jackie, and is loving it. Mikey, is getting bigger by the day, he can ride a big bike, with training wheels of course, looks like Santa might be bringing him a cool big boy bike, he is also preparing for German school. He starts Monday, as well as the girls. I think we are all ready for school. Mikey is super excited, he tells EVERYONE, that he is starting German school. Yesterday, I took the kids to get haircuts, Alex has a new look this year. I will post pics later. They are excited to wear their "back to school" clothes and accessories. Mikey is excited to wear his backpack. LOL This is gonna be a fun year, I can feel it.
We also went to an amusement park called Europa Park. IT is about an 2 hr drive from here, so we got to see a little bit more of Germany, So pretty. We accidentally drove through France to get there. It was funny because we didn't know and we didn't have passports or our international drivers license. Of course Mike was calm and I was really anxious. I was scared they would detain us....lol All was well, Alex thought it was cool to be in France. Europa Park was a lot of fun, a big knock off of Disney, I think, but fun. The kids had a blast and were really daring. That was like our end of summer adventure, next summer will be more adventurous, God willing.
We are all good, I was looking for a job, had a couple of offers, but nothing seemed to be feasible for our family, with daycare and the kids school. So hopefully I will be finding something soon. Maybe its just not my time to work right now. I am going to apply to be a sub at the kids school or Jr high, don't know which one yet.
Mike is good, working a lot. He loves his dog and he is getting settling in real nicely. He is starting up his Fantasy football league. He is the commissioner, I guess and is going to LOVE it.
, tomorrow is the first day of school for all the kids, I will most definitely report back tomorrow. They are really excited!!! So am I......LOL Well, I hope everyone had a great summer and is preparing for Fall, my favorite time of year! Love and miss you all!! Above are some pictures of some of the events that took place since the last post!

Hi, Cathy!

Thanks for all the wonderful photos. Sounds like you all are having a great international experience. Mom told me that you don't read your e-mails anymore, so I guess I will have to break down and join your blog
"friends." Please give our love to Mike and the kiddos. Tell Alex that I almost didn't recognize her picture with her "new look"! But I do like it--very much. Mike's B-day is coming up fast. Is there something that he would like that he can't get there? (The usual price range.) Let me know soon--OK? So I can get it mailed soon. Otherwise we'll just send him a check. Give your self a big hug from Grandpa and me. What do you hear about Lita/Lida? I assume you decided against bringing her to Germany.

Much love, Grandma XOXOXOXOXO
