These Days...

 These Days...
Are spent in the beauty of nature, hiking, exploring, discovering and sharing.
Are filled with joy from visiting friends.  Great to see you Stef!
Are a bit sad as long - haul travel is once again upon us.
We are listening to Lorde and eating up Royals and Team.  Delicious tunes!
Had a great CrossFit workout with some new ladies and wishing Daniel all the best with his new gym!  
We are relishing each moment of this incredible spring.
We are spreading that picnic blanket and enjoying our meals outside.
Are spent with the earth beneath our feet - oh Lord, just as it was intended and so very proud of our children for walking about 6-7 miles over two days.  You guys R.O.C.K.!
We are wishing Robert a safe trip and a quick, quick return.
 Scavenger Hunts on our hike from Muttenz to Grün 80.
 Underground urban hiking scene.  Yeah... it exists!

 Exploring caves.
Stopping just long enough to smile in front of beautiful castles.

We Are...

 We Are...
Back to our normal schedules after a horrible week of having the flu.
Unable to believe travel is upon us once again.
Smiling after saying to Tessa, "Good job putting on your shoes."  
"I'm focused," was her reply.  Too cute!
Enjoying music class.
Loving Lorde, I know, I know I must have just crawled out from under a rock.
Diving into Overwhelmed after listening to the overview of the book on NPR.
Grateful for the fun we had in the States.
Looking forward to some fun gym sessions this week!

 We had a great time bowling!
 Tessa with Nana Mae at the bowling alley!

 Hiking in Valley Forge our old backyard!
The cousins!  Boy, oh boy do Noah and Tessa LOVE Sean!

Posting very late half birthday celebrations!  Happy 2.5 Tessa!  
Enjoying the gorgeous weather this week.
Trying desperately to recover from this horrible flu or whatever it may be.
Grateful that Noah's Kindergarten takes them into the forest.
Unable to believe our trip to the US is behind us.
Grateful for spending time with our wonderful family and dear friends.
Hoping to kick the remainder of our sickness this weekend before life starts in full swing next week.
