Rhine River Cruise 2011

We've been on this cruise twice now and have loved it so much! It's definitely a "DO NOT MISS THIS," in Germany.  We were able to see 18 castles along the cruise.  My best friend from Las Vegas, Stephanie Busby, came with her husband, Matt Galusha to visit us and we took them on this adventure.  We took a nice long, steep walk up to Burg Rheinfels and enjoyed all it's glory.  From putting Holly into the stocks, to crawling in old tunnels, it was well worth the climb.  Enjoy.  And yes there are many more photos to come!!!  Miss all our family and friends, but if you find the time come visit us, we'll show you a good time!  Guten Tag!

Guten Tag, Germany!

For those who don't know already, we are moving to Germany!!!!! We got orders to Ramstein Air Base and will be there for the next four years! We can hardly wait.

Justin will be working on C-17s and supporting aircraft that stops in Ramstein as well. He's really excited for the opportunity to learn a new aircraft and for all the experience to come with it.

We enjoyed our time at Kirtland AFB in NM but were ready to accept the challenge of a new place, let alone a new country!

Tiffany and the girls are in CO staying with family until it is time to make the trek across the US again with her mom to PA. Then she'll meet up with Justin to fly out in June to Germany.

Holly is really excited to learn German and has been practicing some words.

We'll post our adventures and show you lots of pictures and if any of you decide to come to Europe stop on by our place for some bratwurst and sauerkraut!

Rylie the Rattler

Hello my name is Rylie and this is my rattle! I love to chew on it and squeeze it. It's my favorite toy!

1st Day of Kindergarten

She certainly enjoyed playing at the playground before class.


Holly's teacher, Ms. Amy, is great! She has lots of great things for the kids and encourages them to do their best. Holly received a good behavior ticket and was able to go play in any of the play areas of her classroom. She went into the baking room and the painting room. She thoroughly enjoyed school. Her mom and dad worried all day long and her mom certainly missed having her home. Upon picking her up from school though, I was relieved to see how much she enjoyed school. We look forward to many more days and we will be doing a blog about her first year of school.

Half way there!

Way to go Holly, you made it to Lesson 50! Keep it up and you'll be finished by the time you start Kindergarten. We are so proud of you!

So Holly loves ballet. We've told her that she will get to start going after she shows us she's doing well in school. So probably January is when she'll start. We have a friend who makes custom tutus and we got ones made for the girls to wear. We can't wait to do their portraits in them!
