Our past week in Frankfurt

This past week we worked, of course, but we had a lot of fun on the weekend. We had our good friends, Dirk and Xandra Elbert, over to meet Samuel and have dinner and drinks (but not for Xandra, she is due to have her fist baby (a boy) at the end of March) and to visit. It was great to see them again! We also walked around Frankfurt and I got to play on some great German playground toys. Samuel had his first doctor's appointment over here on Friday and his new German doctor is very nice. He weighed 14 lbs. and was 24.5 inches long. It is good to know he is getting bigger. Here are some pictures from our week!

Here is Samuel in his camouflage outifit his Uncle Jim

bought him.

This outfit was the first thing ge got from his

Uncle Jim, it just took a while to fit into it.

Kind of a pouty face - but still cute!

Samuel playing in our bed right before bath time.

In the covers!

expecting a little boy at the end of March!

our apartment.

A restaurant and church we passed on

our walk.

A church near our neighborhood - it

reminds me of Guardian Angels Church in

Manistee - where we got married.

Me climbing a very fun jungle gym in the park near

our house - this thing would never fly in the U.S.A. due

to the liability issues with kids hurting themselves, but

it sure was fun!

Me at the top of the jungle gym - very fun!

Samuel and I cooking in our kitchen - he

loves being in this wrap carrier!
