Recent Weeks...

I know I have been neglecting this little blog lately- but we have been pretty busy!  Here's a bit of what we have been up to...

:: Levi turned 9 and we had a really fun bowling party!

:: We got LOTS of snow, and we took full advantage of playing in it

:: And with all of that snow, Luke decided he wanted a "sledding"14th Birthday party with a few of his friends

They had a BLAST!




:: Abby performed in the middle school musical, "Seussical Jr"

They all did a fantastic job!  Abby was the Mayor :)

:: We applied for our visas and should get them in a few weeks! (here the kids are waiting to be called back to be finger printed)

:: Lindsay came through Wien on her way to a Sonship Conference in the Czech Republic (along with Meredith, Sandy and Patric-but I didn't get a chance to snap a photo of them)

:: Made these Turtle Cheesecake Bars for the first time, and they were delicious!

:: Abby got some long layers cut into her hair, and now looks like a teenager ;(

:: We went to the eye doctor and found out that Levi needs glasses.  Thankfully, he is pretty excited about it!

:: And after 20+ days without seeing the sun- it finally came out this week!  I forgot how much I missed seeing it! :)
