This was a really good week here. The weather got yucky again, it rained pretty much every day. However, we had places to go almost everyday so that was good. Tuesday we took the missionaries on base to let them shop at the commissary and get some Taco Bell. They were LOVING IT!!! Wednesday a woman from church came and picked us up (Aiden, Whitney, and me) and took us to her house. She doesn't have any little kids anymore but she still had some old toys and it was just nice for a change of scenery without having to walk in the rain to get it. Thursday a different woman from church came and picked us up and took us to Ladenburg. This is the oldest town in Germany (98 BC). It was such a charming town. The Romans were the first ones that lived there so there is a lot of Roman architecture still there. It was so interesting. It was also the home of Carl Benz (Mercedes Benz). We saw the home that they lived in as well as the museum. It was closed but we got to look through the windows. :) Saturday I took the boys to Sea Life in Speyer. (Thank Goodness for my GPS!!!) Jeremy stayed home with Whitney because she woke up really early and didn't sleep well the night before, she has a little cold, and because we thought she would make it miserable for everyone else there. That night we all went to an International Potluck at church. There were almost 20 different countries represented there. It was so interesting to see and taste all the different kinds of food. I took BBQ Ribs from a restaurant on base. Today was Ward Conference at church and they finally announced our membership at the ward. Unfortunately I had to stay home with Whitney. Her cold seems to be getting worse and she's not sleeping. I think she's teething on top of this cold. Poor thing. The other highlight from today is that we discovered that we can get the internet in our room!!! We've tried before and never could. For some reason it worked today. So, we've all been online all day. When the boys got home from church they played all their computer games for about 3 hours! They were giddy about it. It was so fun! I don't think I'll ever take the internet for granted ever again after this. Anyway, since we got internet in our room that also means that I can finally post pictures. I uploaded all the pictures from my camera and couldn't believe that I had 227!! After deleting all the bad ones even! So.... I won't post ALL the pictures but I will post a lot of them. I want the pics on the blog for my blurb book. I didn't spend a lot of time editing though.... it would have taken me all day.
Enjoy!

We're in Germany!!
Here's a little park by our Boarding House.
This is Bronshu (I'm sure this is not the correct spelling but this is how it sounds). He's the little boy that lives next to us. They have lived in this Boarding House for over 2 years!!!
The saddest birthday ever! Jeremy turns 33.
The Backerei (Bakery)
We usually go to the Bakery every morning and then stop at the park on the way home. On this day, I caught Whitney sneaking a bite of the baguette before we could get it home. lol!!!
Typical Aiden... he's always got a stuffed animal in his arms. We found these really cool foam things. They're made from corn starch. You just get them a little bit wet and they stick together like glue.
Whitney got a little too excited about the bubbles... ooops!
Little weiners are yummy and fun to eat!! :)
Jeremy's boss is so nice to let us use his car until our van gets here. We barely fit but it's better than walking!!
Jeremy's office
The kids have each figured out ways to entertain themselves in our new, much smaller surroundings...

On one of our many walks we came across a skateboarding park. The kids loved releasing some energy as they just ran and jumped for a good hour!
Kid's World!! What a wonderful place! (I think Jeremy was having more fun than the kids)
The view from our room
The shops outside our boarding house where we shop everyday
Our rooms. I had to put the mattresses for me and Whitney on the floor because I was too worried about her falling out of bed. The floor and walls are concrete!
Our other room. This is the room where Jeremy sleeps with the boys.
Connor's bus
The Lorz. Our first dinner invitation. They are a really nice couple from our church.
There are a lot of parks on base. This day was beautiful. We had so much fun there.
(Whitney loves to put her hands in pockets)
