skiing

Our kids all have God parents here in Germany, well Europe at least. People to pray for them and be extended family for them. We don't see our families in America as much as we would like, but God has put people in our lives here who are like family to us.

Taliah's 'auntie' came up from Switzerland with her husband and took the kids to a ski school on Satuday and Sunday. They are very active, outdoors people and wanted to do something with the two older kids so they asked if they could take them skiing. The kids were so excited! This was planned for about a month already and they couldn't wait! The ski resort is about 45 minutes away from our house so they went up for the day on Saturday and half a day on Sunday.

I went up to watch on Sunday but wasn't able to stay because the weather was so bad. It was sleeting and then snowing really hard, I couldn't take Dariah out of the car! Lia stayed with her and I watched the kids go down the hill once and up the rope once and then I went home, very slowly, the roads were pretty slick, but only for a couple of miles then the snow turned back into rain.

The kids did really well and they had a blast. We are so blessed by our families, here and there...I love being part of God's family, no matter where we go we are at home with family! Here are a few of my favorite pictures that 'auntie' lia took.


Aren't they cute?!
