Meeting some of the neighbors

Although we've been sick the past few days, we still continued to force ourselves to go on walks twice a day with Ayla. Sometimes the 20-minute walk in the fresh air seemed to help us, and other times it was a struggle to get back home but we didn't want Ayla to...

When the cats come out to play

We've had Ayla now for close to 9 months and we always hoped that at some point along the way, the dogs and cats would just somehow start to get along. It never happened in our old house but we thought that perhaps when we move, the environment will be totally...

Our new camping haven

A weekend at the grandparents’

We went to visit grandma and grandpa this weekend. Hubbers had a birthday on Thursday and his dad had one on Friday. My mom also had one on Saturday along with hubber's grandmother but they were both in America for the event. Since Thursday was a holiday here in...

Football fever

Today the World Cup started here in Germany and of course there are a lot of people here which are all worked up about...including most of the people working in my husband's office. They're almost like children on Christmas morning, completely excited about...
