Lincoln turns 3!

Where has the time gone? These past three years have been so awesome to see this little man grow and learn things each day! He is chatting more and more, running after his big sister, giving "dirty looks", being our little stuntman and best of all...our little snuggle bug. Tonight we had an early birthday celebration for Lincoln, a going away party with our AWESOME neighbors upstairs and a packing party:) My oh my...we are busy. Lucy, Lincoln, and I fly out on Sunday and Nick will stay here until the middle of July. Please pray for me as I am heading out...ON MY OWN!! This year has been such a great year. We have met the best friends, seen what we wanted to see, had family come and visit us, but most of all, we have grown as a family! Thanks to everyone for keeping in touch throughout the year. It sure makes the time over here so much better knowing we have family and friends back home praying and thinking of us!! Can't wait to see you all again soon.

Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day (or Nick did)!!
We slept in, had a little celebration, and then jumped on our bikes and rode to Ladenberg which is a couple small villages over. We then rode a ferry across the river with our bikes...which I thought was pretty neat. Some of our friends were there and then we continued on our journey. We rode to a WONDERFUL beer garden for lunch. And guess what...it was mexican! I was so excited. We had lunch, waited for the rain to pass and then rode to the town of Schwetzingen for a brewery tour. We left there and ran into more rain. That's part of the journey right? We then headed to our friends house for pizza and then back home. The total distance was a 15 mile bike ride! I sure wish I could do that everyday!!!!
We had a wonderful Sunday!!

New hats

We have been acting silly around here!!! Lincoln runs into our room and grabs these hats and runs off with them! We are winding down here and getting packed to head home! Pray for us this week as the movers come Wed. and Lincoln turns THREE Friday!! I cannot believe how time flies! And then on Sunday, Lucy, Lincoln, and I will fly back to Iowa for a month before we head down to Texas. LOTS to get ready for. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!
