Saturday saw Vivian and I doing some power shopping. Evidently there are quite a few things that she either cannot get in Germany, or that are quite a bit more expensive. It has been quite eye-opening for me. I guess I take alot of things for granted here in America. It was also an interesting shift in perspective as we would look at something I can get anytime I want, and Vivian says."wow, that's so cheap!" While we were gone the guys took the kids to the park. The kids have all done great at night - I think wearing them all out during the day helps tremendously. :)
This coming week will be very busy (read, I may not post much). We are planning on a trip to the Alamo and Six Flags. Thursday morning the Schneiders have to board a plane back to the land of nine month winter, a.k.a. Germany. I kid - the pictures they post on their blog are beautiful! ( I mean come on - Easter in Rome???)
Thursday I will also be going to Austin to work at the CHEACT homeschooling conference/bookfair. It should be a great one! Not only are Scott and Marcia Somerville guest speakers, but the list of vendors is quite impressive! Rainbow Resource, Children's Books, and of course, Tapestry of Grace, just to list a few. If you are up that way Friday and Saturday, come by the Tapestry booth and say hi to me!
This is my favorite picture from the week so far. This was taken Friday night at the pastor's house and is from left to right: Victoria (age 3), Abby (age 4), and Hailey(age 4.5). Victoria is an only girl with three brothers and Abby is an only girl with five brothers, so they hit it off from the get go. And then of course, there's my Hailey, who barely knows what a brother is. :)
