Salzburg - The Sound of Music/Mozart
We went to Salzburg last weekend. Our Maria is in the mothering way and our Fritz and Friedrich haven't shown up yet, but otherwise we were the spitten image. We sang Do Ray Me all weekend.
We drove past Hitler's Eagles Nest retreat.
As it turns out despite what everyone would naturally assume, Doppler was not Dutch. He was Austrian. I apologize to Justin for the confusion.

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!Wednesday, April 22, 2009
Grandma and Grandpa in Germany!!
I never imagined seeing my parents in Germany, but it was a dream come true. Of all the things I've seen in Germany, they were my favorite. I was reminded while they were here of what wonderful people I have for parents.
These girls love their beautiful Grandma. She was the constant entertainer, rode in the backseat of the car with the girls, and was always cheerful and helpful. 
Lunch at an alpine lake
Casle Hohenzollern and the Royal Family

Tyler, Jamie, Alanna & Cali visit
We had a great time with our fun visitors over the last few days. These little friends had a great time. We can't wait to live a little closer some time soon.
We visited Rothenber ob der Tauber yesterday together. We had a fun time walking around this cool old town.

Porschetag
We decided to have a special occasion to pull the family together. What better way than to rent a Porsche for a day.
Tyler and I of course didn't waste any time at the chance to take it for a short spin. And spin we did, 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds as Tyler timed me. Tyler was able to get going a little faster than me, but not by much. You could say we were bookin.
Here was some more family time. Elli and Abby were crying when we had to take it back, "No, please don't take MY black car away!!"
