Night with the Hahns

Saturday night we went to our friends' Brad and Lynn's house for dinner and for some good company. We went on a bike ride...well Lucy and Brad did...and then we had a WONDERFUL dinner and then roasted marshmallows and made S'MORES!!! We had a wonderful night and can't wait to do it again soon.

Summer Fun

We put our house up for sale and are hoping it goes fast so we are able to get something in Texas!
Lucy is holding our St. Joseph statue that we bought. He was a carpenter and over the years this tradition arose to bury a statue in your lawn when you go to sell your home. You bury him right next to your For Sale sign upside down...his feet are pointing to heaven and towards the house you are selling and then pray to him to help you sell your house. So everyone...pray to St. Joseph for the Novotny house to sell:)

LOTS of catching up to do!

We are back in the USA and enjoying it! We are missing the german lifestyle and our friends and NEIGHBORS (Blunys)!!
We went with the Blunys to Playmobile Fun park the day before we left back to Iowa and had such a great time...even though it was raining the whole day! We miss you guys!
We got back to the states and got settled in and then traveled to the Quad Cities to visit our friends that we met in Germany! We went to lunch and then went to John Deere and had a GREAT time! We will miss the Archer's when we get to TX!
We went to my brother's house for the 4th of July and enjoyed our time there! Lucy cried for the first hour of the trip and was so sad to leave (and I was too).
Now it's time to crack the whip and get cleaning and making this house look good!
We are missing Nick and are counting down until the 24th when he will be home!
We are trying to stay busy here! We are looking forward to whats ahead but will be sad to leave our friends and family here!
