Utah Summer FUN!

So the 24hr. traveling time was definetly worth it! We had a great time in Utah and so enjoyed being with dear friends and family. Of course it went by way too fast but we were able to do lots of fun things and are thankful for the time we did have.
Here are a few of the highlights.

Flying to spend some time with family and friends in Utah for the next three weeks. Stop by MK's if you're around. We would love to see you.

Shelby's visit!

My darling niece, Shelby, has been visiting our family the last three weeks and all I can say is that we LOVE it when she comes! Her high energy, laugh, kindness, sweet spirit and love adds so much to our home. And as I'm sure you can imagine...her little cousin thinks she hung the moon. He is hooked!

Here are some pictures of the fun adventures we've been able to enjoy....

we believe.....

"There are only two ways to live your life;
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is."
- Albert Einstein

We believe in miracles and are happy to share with you our most recent one....



Coming soon. November 2008 -

PORTUGAL

flying, driving, swiming, sleeping, playing, laughing, reading, exploring, digging, building, climbing, shopping, eating, relaxing, loving: Two fun-filled weeks in Portugal!

Spring!

No matter how long the Winter, how hard the frost,

or how deep the snow; Nature triumphs.

No season is awaited so eagerly or welcomed so warmly as Spring.

Blog marathon

Dear Friends & Family,
I apologize for the Blog Marathon you'll find here by the Kaufmann's. What can I say, life has been busy and blogging has been put on the back burner....I'll try to do better in the future. :)
We love and miss you all.

Morning, Day or Night!

With the yard finally finished we thought it would be fun to get a trampoline for all the kids. (FYI....in Switzerland it is very common to have multi-families living under the same roof; each with their individual apartment. We live in the same house where Mandel's brother, mom, and cousin live with their families.....just to clear up any confusion.)

Back to the tramp...since we got it assembled, it's all Bode wants to do....whether it be first thing in the morning still wearing his PJ's, right home from church in his Sunday best, or late evening hours...he just can't seem to get enough of all this JUMPING!!!

Great toddler entertainment!

So the newest additions to Dorengaden have now arrived. Yes, the Bunnies are here and Bode is once again in 7th heaven! Three babies and a mommy. They are darling...and a great way of keeping a 2 1/2 yr. old entertained.

Finally finished!

It all began last Fall when we decided we needed more lawn and less garden so the the kids had plenty of room to play.....and now I'm happy to say that as of last Friday this very long, hard, back-breaking, at times frustrating, and exciting project is now complete.

We're loving it, and know that all the hard work was well worth it.
