Alyssa with her Easel


This was Bill's great idea for a Christmas present for Alyssa this year. It was a definite hit!!! You can use chalk on one side and dry erase markers on the other.

Our Family Christmas picture


Here is the last of our Christmas pictures.

Auntie with the Kids!!!



Well, my sister spent close to a month with us in Germany. I was very sad to see her go, as was everyone else. Alyssa keeps reminding me that she will be back this summer and not to be sad. We had a great time together and I enjoyed every minute of her time here. All I can say is that you really appreciate your family more when they are not around. We were very lucky to be stationed in GF as long as we were, very close to both of our families. We all miss everyone very, very much and can't wait to go home to visit.

More Presents!!!

"More Presents, More Presents, More Presents, PRESENTS!!!"
Hannah walks around the house saying this all the time. We don't really know where she picked it up, but it is very cute.

Going Home


Here is little Daniel in his car seat, the same car seat both his sisters used.

Daddy & Daniel waiting to go home.
We had to wait for Daniel to go have an ultrasound done on his heart before we could leave the hospital. The pediatrician noticed that he had a slight heart murmur, which did turn out to be a very small hole in his heart. They are not overly concerned as it should close all up, most of the time it does. We have a follow up appointment in a couple of weeks. We will let you know what we find out.
