Bunkbeds for two weeks!!!!

The girls were thrilled to have bunk beds for the next two weeks until we leave for the states. They take turns sleeping on the top bunk and play up there all the time. Check out that ladder than Grandpa Gruenes made, it is so much better/safer than the one that came with it!!!

Well, we rang in the new year with four children. Alyssa & Hannah's best friend Emma's Mom (Allison) called us to see if we could take her overnight so she could go to the hospital to get checked out. At the time she was 23 weeks pregnant and not feeling well at all. We kept Emma for five days as Emma's Dad (Will) was deployed. Allison ended up having surgery and by the way is doing well and they finally sent Will home. The girls loved having Emma here and are going to miss her very much.
