Ich bin ein Kind von Gott

Once there was a snowman.

Our backyard.

France - Strasbourg

This was a wonderful looking bakery on the corner of the French town we visited. Sally was the good supportive mom eating brussels sprouts and rice cakes with Elli and Abby and their special diets. I did my part to support the local economy and bought a crouscant and an eclare. They were delicious. The lady was trying to speak to me but the only thing from high school I could remember was Bonjour and Merci. Where is Justin when I need him?


Behind us was the largest church in town. Your regular rediculously enormous ornate cathedral in the center of town. This french town is about 1.5 hours drive from our house. We spent Saturday morning there, it was a neat town.

Happy Birthday Elli!

A chocolate cupcake with frosting for dessert! A great treat for a great girl!
At Kindergarten Elli had muffins with all of her friends and got a flashlight from her teachers. Also, a magical wizard puppet comes out and reads a book to the birthday child (I think its a German tradition?).
MORE BEADS!!! Elli now has a new stash to make us all more gifts!! Horray!
