Spring in Deutschland

The Dandelions (Lions Teeth in German) are really amazing here. Big and plentiful! The girls love them and I receive bunches of dandelion bouquets every day. Who could be luckier?
This is one of my favorite things about spring in Germany. Rapeseed (used for canola oil) which is blooming everywhere around here right now. Of course the pictures do not do it justice. Its amazing how deep yellow it is.

Another day, another castle. We finally made it to Burg Eltz which has been on Kyle's must see list for quite a while. Its the only castle in Germany that was never destroyed and rebuilt. It had original paintings and tapestries in it from the 15 and 1600's. It was pretty amazing. Kyle's new favorite castle in Europe.
Elli went to her first birthday party. A little German girl invited her and she had a great time. We are continually amazed and inspired by our little 'Madschen' who does such a great job adapting to a different culture and new situations. A good example for her mom for sure!

Easter dresses given to us by a friend. We were lucky they fit us!! Horray for cute dresses!

Everything looks so beautiful!! And by the way... we're talking about coming to visit. What month would be good for you? Aaron has a 4 day weekend centered around a US holiday every month so pick a month and we'll come! (not June)

That's awesome that Elli would go to a bday party with a bunch of German speakers. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Elli speaks German.
That castle looks awesome.
