Gloomy

It's been gloomy for about a week now.  It sure doesn't feel like spring.... but I guess it is.  That's what they say anyway.  It rained for 3 days straight, and yesterday it POURED all day long.  I feel like I live in Seattle, or Eugene or something!  I mean, I thought we moved to Germany, but maybe not? And as I type this, the first day that it hasn't rained a lick, it just opened up and started pouring again.

Austin's T-Ball practice got canceled on Monday because of the rain.  We were both pretty bummed.  I was so excited to take pictures of him and watch him learn and laugh.  I hope that next Monday won't be rained out. 

Things are kind of a stand-still around here as we wait for a house on base.  We have stopped unpacking things, and are just waiting for something to open up for us.  We don't really think we should continue to unpack if we are just going to move again.  It would be a lot of work for basically nothing.  I will admit though that I hate still seeing these boxes, but at least we feel somewhat settled now that we have "our" things.  We moved up 6 spaces on the housing list in 1 week, so hopefully this process will move quickly.  They publish the list online only twice per month, so I will know again next Monday where we stand.  Hopefully a lot closer to the top!

Anyhow, I really don't have much to yak about, but figured it would be nice to start writing a little more for a change.  See ya'll soon!

Easter Success

We had a great Easter this year.  It was our first real Holiday away from home, and it was a little tough for me.  I spent the day before making all sorts of goodies, and kept finding myself wishing that I was with my mom baking. 

The kids loved that the Easter Bunny came and left them each a small gift- a game for Austin and a movie for Sydney along with some chocolate.  Austin then got a haircut and we all got ready and headed off to the Hammonds for Easter. 

We had to many snack foods that we were all stuffed before dinner was even ready.  It was an awesome time- the kids had a BLAST playing with all the other kids, and hunting their eggs. 

We are so thankful that we have friends here to spend holidays with- it makes being away so so much easier!

We got home a little later than anticipated, and went to call family, and of course our phone was dead- go figure!  I did get to Skype with my mom and dad, so I went to bed with a smile on my face.

Hope everyone had a great Easter!!

 She obviously thought that using utensils for eggs was over rated.  Hands work better!

 This is the best I could get from them =)  They are
