I guess you can say it's a combination of all three. I should be writing this on the laptop because all of our pictures from our camera have been downloaded on there so I will need to post from that computer. I guess I can write on this one then go to the laptop and add the pictures later if I want? We will see.
So since February what's been going on? We spent almost the whole week down at Ramstein back in February. We came home loaded with exercise equipment and food's galore and really had a nice time. I was able to have my nails done, the boys were able to take in a day of swimming and rock climbing and we spent way too much money. We ate at some wonderful American style food places and just took it easy. We will be heading back down again in May for another week. Sheldon has a conference for work and we will hopefully be able to pick up Jori from their when she takes a hop from Travis. So that is the plan so far.
The boys were able to get some meds and the Doctor was great about giving me 6 months worth of meds for them. We will have to refill them in August so that will be right before school starts up. Sheldon had his medical check up that week and they said that he was having an issue with his liver counts. We are waiting to hear from the Doctor about what he should do next. So we will deal with that as it comes.
School has been school! The boys aren't doing too bad, but then again they could be doing better. It's just so different, and with the grading and how they grade. Malachi has one teacher that want's him to be "creative". Well to her she thinks that if the kids don't draw or paint like Picaso then they aren't being creative. In the states they were suppose to draw as well as they could to the example in front of them, here she want's them to look opposite. I just told Malachi to do his best and good luck;)
Christian is still having growing pains with the youth in the ward. He hasn't been to church or any activity for over a month now. It's hard to want to be apart of a group of people who make you feel unwelcome. That even comes from most of the adult leaders in the YM's presidency too. At least Marco goes out of his way to talk with the boys when they are there and gratefully there are some men in the ward who are taking the time to make the boys feel welcome. The good thing is that the kids from school are very accepting and the boys have some good friends from there. Church is only a few hours each week so at least when they go to school they have friends to sit with.
RS is going well. I taught a slow cooker class last week and we had about 12-15 sisters show up. I brought Chili for lunch with things to eat with it and everyone seemed to have a really good time. For the RS birthday dinner we did a taco bar with beans and rice as a side and that went over well too. I am slowly getting to know the sister's but there are so many more I would love to get to know better.
Well, I have so much more to get done today. I really want to work on the house these next few days. Jon Thiessen will be coming next weekend for a few days, and Jori will be here in a month so I really need to get rooms done.
Oh, we spent a few days with the Thiessen's in Germany when the boys were in Austria skiing for a week. We had so much fun playing dominos and visiting some castles in souther Germany. We even skipped over to Austria to take the "Sound of Music Tour" in Salzburg. It was just nice to go and do things with Jon and Monica. Can't wait to vacation with them again. The summers will be hard because I have the boys in School until July, but we are hoping to be able to do some things this summer before Monica heads back to Washington. We are hoping that her house will sell, then she can stay over in Germany for good! So we're keeping our fingers crossed;)
