Aurélie is now 6 months old!!!

Our little baby is now 6 months old. The time has gone by so fast. She can sit really well now and loves to rock back and forth. She has a wonderful smile and is a really happy baby. We are so happy to have her in our lives and look forward to watching her grow up. We love you sweetie.

Party at Jungle Gym's

We met some wonderful German families here and one of them invited us to their daughter Heide's 4th birthday party at Jungle Gyms. The boys had lots of fun and it was great to speak German again. Hopefully we can meet up with them often in the future.

Xavier's Kindergarten Concert

Xavier had his first kindergarten concert on January 12. He even helped the school get ready by guarding the blue background to make sure none of the kids ripped it. So he sat right next to it and kept it safe all day. His teachers were really proud of him. They sure do love him at his school. There was even a little girl there that wanted to buy Xavier a present but she did not have any money so she said that when she loses her tooth and gets her tooth fairy money she will buy Xavier a Star Wars present. Thierry told her that Xavier would love it if she drew him a Star Wars picture instead and she said OK. He is only 5 years old and the girls are already chasing him. That's my boy!!!

Christmas Pictures

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. After everyone woke up and opened the presents at home we then went to my sister Chandra's and her husband Chad and their kids house. Maxx and Emma were in Saint Louis visiting their Dad and his side of the family so we did not get to see them but we had a great time with CJ, Chad, and Chandra. Chad made us a wonderful Christmas breakfast of omelets and bacon. Yummy.
The kids got so many presents this year it was unbelievable. They are so spoiled.
All three of our kids have grown a lot. It is so shocking to see how big they are now.














































































































































































































The day after Christmas we went to my sister Jill and her family's house. Even my sister Melissa, her husband Drew, and their 4 kids drove up from Las Vegas. We had 13 of the 15 grand kids all there together. We missed Maxx and Emma but we were really happy to see Melissa and her family and have so many of the grand kids together. They exchanged even more presents and the kids got spoiled even more. All in all it was a great holiday. I don't think our kids have ever got so many presents in all their lives. They love being around their cousins as well and seem very happy here.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Lots of love from our house to yours.
