Counting the weeks!

Only three weeks left people!! It is so hard to believe. We have been so busy with the preparation of moving...yet not doing much as far as actual physical labor. We can't pack anything because they have to do it, but we have gotten a lot of things taken care of. It has been stressful, but not too bad. My aunt Beate and her parents, Erich and Res, came over today for their last visit with us. It was a nice visit and sad to think this might potentially be the last time we see Erich and Res. Marlee loves them. She has always taken to them so well. She will miss them I think. We didn't say goodbye...I just said, "see you later". I don't like the whole "goodbye" thing. They will missed. The food, especially the bakeries, the scenery, and getting the chance to see family I hadn't seen in a long time or never met before was really nice. I might have never gotten to meet my Oma's brother if Zachary wasn't in the military, so the opportunity was a bonus.

Marlee loves the walks we go on, and we love to TRY to take pictures of her when we go. I say try because she is usually looking down, or anywhere other than where the camera is. She is such a turkey these days, and is coming into her own each day. I posted a lot of pictures of the walk below and some additional ones I though were great. She has been pointing to the sky now and saying..."sky". When she hears a plane sometimes she will point to the sky if we are outside and say "sky" too. She is amazing to learn from. She has to still have her "flouwa" when we go on walks; she still loves to go "owsye"; she loves to say "bye" all the time even to the tv when her shows are over; She says "hi" every time we go get her from a nap and that is the sweetest sound to one's ears; and she still loves her yogurt, but she doesn't hunt for it much anymore. I can't wait until we get back to the states so we can go the park, tumbling maybe, see family, the zoo, and so many other things that she is getting to the age to have fun doing. Until then...I guess it's The Office...and...Indian food. Some of you will understand what all that means. Have a blessed day!



She wanted to watch a movie instead of doing skype...such a little girl!
