Most of you receiving this are probably getting ready to have your Christmas dinner, while we are drinking coffee and will be heading to bed within the next few hours. We did have a fun-filled Christmas with our monkeys. This was the first year that Lena really knew what was going on, so the excitement level around here was HIGH! We had an overwhelming amount of packages sent to us this year - what a blessing!!! Our living room floor was covered and we had the best time opening all of our treats. Among the many many fun things that arrived, we got a play castle, a Tonka ride-on toy, a set of yummy luxurious sheets, beer glasses, tons of princess dress-up stuff, scrap-booking supplies to last through the next decade, a Raclette grill, a new watch, lots of Country CD's, books, magazines, a Raggedy Ann, scrumptious jacquard towels, and the list goes on. Christian and I were looking at each other, just laughing at the amount of fun STUFF. Thank you ALL!!!
As I've told most of you, being away from you all during the holidays is very very hard. Last year I cried all Christmas day (what fun!) and this year I cried most of yesterday. At least this time I got it out of the way the day BEFORE Christmas! I'm almost assured that next Christmas the kids and I will be in Texas with family and friends, but sadly Christian will be in Iraq. So, it will be bitter-sweet.
We love you all and thank you so much for staying in touch with us, whether through phone calls, email or VISITS to Germany!
Blessings to you ALL and have a wonderful Christmas!
dicey, Christian, LenaJane & Rowdy boy

The Globetrotters & More!

Hello All,
Something fun FINALLY came our way yesterday! The Harlem Globetrotters came to our post here in Baumholder! They are still the greatest show for kids! I had never seen them in person, so it was just as much fun for me. Lena watched about 2 seconds of it and then went and played with some other toddlers, but she still had a good time. Tanja brought Emi, Niki and another German boy and they flipped over the show. They had never seen anything like it, so it was really a treat for them.
This event was such good timing and really a blessing (it was also FREE!) for the families here. The guys have been gone for about 6 weeks now, Mom's are bored to death and worn out, and we just got the official word that the guys will definitely be going away for "extreme training" in early 2008. Yuck. So...let's just say that the Globetrotters really made our day. Soooooooooo much fun. Oh, and here's a bit of trivia...did you know that they have been touring since 1926?! (obviously they've changed some players since then...)
Hope all is well with each of you! We love email (hint, hint) so write when you can!
blessings!
