Why I should not be naked around my kids

If you're going to take offense, that's just silly and don't bother reading on. But, if you think toddlers are so naive that you just want to have a good laugh then please read on. I was getting out of the shower and Kristian comes in the bathroom. (M=Me, K=Kristian) M-Kristian, please go away, Mommy's naked. K-But I want to see your boobies. M-You have your own boobies, where are they? K-(Points to his) Right here but you have BIG boobies. (sounding very exagerated) I am at this point shocked and slightly embarrased at my son's intrest and I call for Dan to come get him and I shut the door. Yeah, I think it's time for a little more modesty and privacy around here!

Our Trip To Trier

As part of a newcomers group through the base, we took a train down to the city of Trier, Germany's oldest city. I'll only post a few pics but you can click on the link on the right side of the page to take you to our Picasa albums and look at ALL the pics I took in the April album. Kristian absolutely loved riding the train and he got to go up to the front with our tour guide, Easter. I think he had a crush on her and she even taught him some German! This city is only 30 minutes from us and is rich with history. It used to be ruled by the Romans and their are Roman ruins still standing. The sculptures in the cathedral were unlike anything I've ever seen. Here is a link for info on Trier: www.sacred-destinations.com/germany/trier.htm I hope you enjoy all the pictures!

Our New Home (as of next week)

Next week we are finally moving into a home where we plan to be for the next 4 years! We will be living in the village of Dudeldorf, Germany! We love the house and it has a great location! Our van arrived last week and we found out that our unaccompanied baggage is here and waiting for a delivery date! Enjoy the pics, I will post more once we start settling in!

Eliza Shakin' Her Tooshie

So, yeah, Eliza has some mad skills when it comes to shakin' what I gave her! She got dona taking a bath the other night and it was so cute. Hope I don't get in trouble for posting a baby tooshie! lol

Bathtime Tooshies

I do believe that we humiliate our children most with pictures of them in the bath. I do also believe that we get the cutest pictures of them at bathtime. So, now that I have stated my beliefs to you, here is what I believe to be some really cute pictures and what some day my children will believe to be the most humiliating pictures ever. What fun is being a mom if you can't embarass your kids every now and then? My mom taught me that and I'm sure it was my grandma that taught it to her. Now for the explanation: Since we are waiting to move into our house and our alloted time in TLF is up, we are staying with some of our very good friends. They have twin boys who are a year older then Kristian and a newborn baby boy. We decided it wold be fun (and make for cute pictures) if we gave all 3 older boys a bath together (Kristian is in the middle). Eliza did not like the fact that she had to wait her turn and decided to try and join them. Fortunately for me, her attempt was unsuccesful but made for a super cute picture! Lastly, Eliza has what we call her tushy-shakin'-dance and was showing it off when she got done with her bath. My friend did get some video but I just have to figure out how to get it on here. Hope you enjoy what I believe are some of the cutest tooshies ever!
