Just Pictures...
There are some cute pictures I wanted to share...
Noah at the 4th of July Festivities in Lake City, Iowa.
Emma helping Tandy clean, she was having the best time, there was a smile on her face the whole night!
Abby's sleeping pose in the car.
The kids greeting Daddy in Orlando, FL after not seeing him for a month.
The kids trying out their new goggles.
Noah soooo excited to see his horse. He got on it as soon as the movers brought it in the house.
Sorry Sergio, I had to do it, he is just so darn cute!
On our move from Germany to the states...Sergio a little frustrated.
First Time at the Beach!!!
This is an old post, but I had forgotten all about it. Noah had been to the beach before in Amsterdam but we never got in the water because it was too cold, so this was his first real time in the ocean.
We made a trip to Sunny Isles FL soon after we arrived in FL. We were unsure of what Noah's reaction would be, would the oceaning be too overwhelming, would he love it??? We just didn't know.
As you can see in the pictures his reaction was priceless, in fact the first couple minutes the water hit his feet he screamed like a girl!!! He had a smile on his face the whole time we were there.

9 YEARS!!!
WOW, today is our 9 year anniversary!! I can't believe it has been 9 years already, really they have flown by. I think because we have done so much in 9 years. We are happy to report that our marriage is better now than it was 9 years ago and keeps getting better everyday, not many people can say that so I am very thankful we can! Here are some pictures on our 9 year journey together!
We are celebrating by going to one of our favorite restaurants Texas De Brazil!! I cannot wait , it is going to be a good night!!

Our First Visitors!!!!
Well we have only been in Miami for a few months and we have had our first visitors already. Sergio's parents and our niece Vanessa came to visit, we were super excited because we haven't seen then since before we moved to Germany so it had been over three years. We hung out and talked alot, Vanessa played with the kids, which they loved. We went shopping, to the beach, out to each, swimming, etc, etc. I think everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures of our week.
The whole gang out to eat on the last night of the trip.

Build A Bear!
This is an old post, I am a little behind and am going to try to catch up this week! It has kinda been traditional taking kids to Build A Bear once a yr but while in Germany we were unable to do it. So for Emma's birthday we told them we would go and they each could get one. This is Emma's 3rd one, Abby's second and Noahs first. They each picked out the animal they wanted. They all had a great time even Noah!
Expect a lot more posts this week, I am playing catch up!!

"The Wall"
This post is really just for Sergio to see the wall...because he is away on a trip and this is a way that I can show him things.
We have this HUGE wall in our house that is bare and it really needed something but we didn't want to spend a lot of money on something because we are only going to be in this house for 2 years, so i found this vinyl wall art on Etsy.com for only $30 and the metal stars I found on clearance at Michaels for $6 each (not sure if I like the stars yet). So now our wall is not so bare! YEAH!
Let me know if you like it Sergio, of course the kids had to get in on the shot...(it looks crooked in the picture but it is not!)

1st Day of School!
Today was Emma's 1st real official day of school since she was home schooled for her kindergarten year.
This morning was interesting to say the least. We were on schedule at home, early in fact. School starts at 8:00 am and is literally less than 5 mins away from our house. We arrived at the school 20 mins early and it was crazy. All along the road were parked cars, people walking everywhere, we had to park along side the highway on the grass and had to walk about 10-15 mins to get into the school. It was crazy. In 1st Grade alone there are 10 classrooms, which is definetly something I am not used to.
We finally made it into the school and she was a little nervous I could tell but excited at the same time. We all kissed and hugged her goodbye and she was busy working. I did get a little teary eyed but tried hard not to let Emma see I didn't want her to get upset, but it was very hard leaving her and I missed her the moment I left!
Then comes picking her, at her school there is one path to pick up in the car you drive up to the curb of the school and the teacher releases her to me. I thought I am going to be early so I am first in line, so I get to the school at 1:40, school lets out at 2:00pm. As I am pulling up I see the huge line already, ugh!! This is terrible she is going to be waiting for me, etc, etc....Well at around 2:25 I finally get to the front of the school to pick her up! That is crazy!! Poor thing was waiting for me along with many other kids, so tomorrow I am going to try to go a little bit earlier. I guess that is what happens at big schools!
Emma told me about her day, of course I wanted to know everything. As soon as she got home she said, "it feels good to be home, I was sitting all day" She said she had fun, but didn't like the lunch it was too spicy for her, they had chicken sandwiches and fries, so she was very hungry! And another thing she didn't like was all the boys in her class, she sits at a table with all boys and she said she didn't like waiting for me at the end of the day. But she came home with homework, which she finished right away. Overall I think she had a good day, it is just going to take some getting used to. Here are some pictures of her first day!
