Tesla's first snow

and the birds that are taunting her...

Finally

I added some photos of the house with furniture in it. Haven't finished photographing everything completely but I will be doing that soon.

Thanksgiving 2010

PW's Pie that you will die for aka Pecan Pie or in my case Pecan Pie soup since it did not firm up.

The crazy boys sitting at the pub table.
Most of the delicious dishes we had for Thanksgiving - turkey was being carved in the kitchen during the photo shoot.

The dishes were Green Chili Corn Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Honey Ham, Smoked Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Sausage, apple & Pecan cornbread dressing, homemade cranberry sauce and Broccoli Salad. We had the aforementioned pecan pie soup along with pumpkin pie, Cranberry Noel shortbread cookies, and Pumpkin Roll for dessert.

We had a great time with our friends. The meal was great, the fellowship was even better. Looking forward to next year :>)

Jared also has Crazy School Days & a school project

Crazy hair day though this actually looks like the hair you would see on a German or Italian kid headed off to school. So I actually thought he looked rather good. With his hair this short it would be kind of hard to do anything to outlandish - except for with some type of coloring.

the treat boxes Jared made for his class on Stargirl project day. They went along with the crazy outfit you see next.
got to love the leapord print pants, don't you? Stylin'!

Caleb's Crazy Days in School

Crazy hat day - Caleb took a Burger King bag and a hotel plastic cup to create this crazy hat. Guess you can get very creative when you are living out of a hotel and have only a few things at your disposal. I think he did a pretty good job don't you?


Pirate Day! Caleb makes a pretty good pirate.

Cassandra, Jared and Gabriella



Caleb and the girls.

Gabriella and Cassandra moved from Vicenza at the same time we did. They live in the same building on base that we do while waiting for housing. The boys have been enjoying their time with the girls. They run and play tag, sit and swing and chat, walk around the base, eat together, and more. They really have such a great friendship and I know it is helping all 4 of them to adjust to Germany.

A visit with old friends
