Thanksgiving 2013

Omi and Grandpa came down to our house this year! Jorg made the (hugest) turkey and stuffing. I made a green salad. Rebecca made the name tags (with no assistance). Jim and Birgit brought...the rest! Quite a feast!! It was so so so so so so so so DELICIOUS.
We all gave a toast and announced what we are most thankful for. We are truly blessed!

Our Little Artist

She wanted to enter the Reflections Contest again this year. She drew a picture of Jonny Appleseed and wrote how he inspired her because he gave apples to poor people and animals. So proud of our little artist!

Thanks for being patient. We know it was mean of us to do it this
way, but we had a good time thinking of how to present the news and
keeping the little secret for a short time together. Thanks for all
your prayers and love through this experience. We know all our (3)
children are soooo very lucky to have you in their lives!

Love,

Jorg, Emily, and Rebecca (the big sister)

This picture gets a post of it's own because she's adorable. She made a little school in the corner of her room. Here she is reading to her animals. Just too cute!!
