Parents are here....

My parents are here from CA. They got here on the 5th of September. It has been great having them here with us. My kids are so happy and I am so happy. Unfortunatly the first week has not been very good for us. My babies got sick... :-( I don't like it when they are sick. And with them going to school and meetings and trying to get things done around the house it has been hard for me to show them around Germany. I feel real bad. On Monday they will be going to Madrid and spending some time together! I am so excided for them. It is my gift to them for their anniversary. I am glad that I can do something nice for them. They are great parents. They have always been here for me when I needed them.

Hopefully when they come back from Spain we will have some more things planned for them. There are castles that I want to show them and I also want to show them our church that is located in our town. It is very big and beautiful. We do have something planned for next week!! I almost forgot! First we have the "Welfare Bazaar" at Ramstein Air Base. That should be fun. Then my baby boy, Mathew will be turning 6 years old and we will be having a birthday party for him!! So next week is full of events!! YAY FOR BEING BUSY!!

So I am sorry for not writing in my blog for a while. I have been busy with the kids and their school and also enjoying my parents company....

Rain....

It rains a lot in Germany. I love rain and snow so it's nice. The thing is that I lived in Las Vegas before and I don't have any clothes or shoes for this weather so that means SHOPPING!!! I have to get some rain boots for me and the kids and some nice coats that can be worn in the rain and snow. Okay, I just wrote a "To Do List". Force of habit!

Yesterday my husband came home from work and it was pretty cold in the house so I told him to get some wood from the shed and start a fire in the fire place. I love that!! It made it feel so homie! Then for dinner I made butternut squash soup. It was a perfect night.

My parents are coming to visit us! Very soon. They should be here on September 5th. I am trying to set some trips for them so they could visit some places. They want to go to Spain, Italy, and Paris. So far I have Paris and Spain. I think that they will be happy with those two! We will be going to Paris with them but Spain is going to be only my mom and dad. I am so happy for them. They deserve to do something like this. My mom works so hard and my dad does too. They deal with so much stress that I think this trip is going to be very good for them. Germany is a place that is filled with seranity and peacfulness. My dad likes to go for walks and Germans do too. There are lots of trails here and I think he is going to love to take several walks and enjoy the trees and all the beautiful things that are around here. I usually don't like to walk but now I love to because of all the nice things that I see while I walk.

So I am looking forward to the month to come.... And my kids are too....

Making friends...

Yesterday I went out to Karaoke night and met some girls. They were a very fun group of ladies! I enjoyed spending time with them and talking to them. I didn't even sing but I had a great time! I have been in Germany for 3 months now and it is going real well. We are still trying to catch up with everything we had to spend but the kids have been enrolled into school and I have bought them everything they need for school already. Now we are just waiting for school to start. As soon as school starts I am thinking of going to school myself! Going to do some things for myself! Someone told me once, "A happy mom equals happy kids". So I am taking care of me so my kids are taken care of.

Life in Germany is good! And it will be getting better....
