Heidelberg, Germany

We had a great July 4th out at the farm with some great friends who let us crash at their house while we waited for our place to be finished up.  The boys had an epic tank war.  Each year the day after the 4th they have a huge tank battle we were fortunate enough to be able to be a part of it this year.  Owen was thrilled!  It lasted over 3 hours! 

 The boys divide into teams and then light these little tanks and watch the tanks battle it out. 

 We got in some pool fun!

                              Meg is a water girl!  Put this girl in water and she is happy for hours!

 Meg and Lucky set  up a popsicle stand!  I think they sold out! It is super hot and humid here in Kansas!

 The boys played Airsoft for hours! 

                                              After 36 days we got to see our new place!  Here are a few pictures of it empty. We are hoping our furniture will arrive next week.
                                                                     Dining Room

                                                               Sun Room

 Living room

                                                            Meg's room

 Our first place to have stairs!  The kids are thrilled!

 

I'll post a few more pictures once we get moved in.  It was a wonderful feeling to finally unpack our cars and have a place to call HOME!

 

On a funny note.  After 36 days 26 of which all four of us shared a room at night Owen and Meg have been bickering more than usually I think partly because we have just been in close quarters for a long time.  It was really getting to Pascal and myself so we decided to start making them write notes to each other.  Here is just a sample of some of the letters written.  We make them read them to each other, and I found it really hard not to bust out laughing.
