December 6th

It is a little hectic around our house. We are trying to get all our ducks in line for a big move. We are packing up and heading back to the USA! The new spot is Kansas City.  Super excited for our new adventure and to be closer to family. Sad to leave this beautiful valley and all the wonderful people in it.
One month to do a lot of stuff, this is going fast!

Winzerfest

The last weekend in September, our village has a wine festival. There are four vineyards in the area.  Each vineyard has wine, food, music and a little local stuff. You walk the trubliweg (the vineyard trail) which connects them all. Every year it has been a fun event. This year many of our friends came.

A local gig, check out those accordions.

This picture is hilarious.

October 7th

Six years ago I married my best friend at the same place we met four years prior. I am grateful for every morning I wake up next to you, our three wonderful babies, and the respect, love and encouragement we have for each other every day. Cheers to seeing many more wrinkles on our faces. I love you forever!

Erik's Birthday

All Erik wanted was a relaxing day for his birthday. He got it, plus an Oklahoma win, early morning workout and no dishes.
Artwork from the kids.
Breakfast sandwiches.
All dressed up for Dad.
Football watching with his princess.
Finished with rack of lamb and pecan pie.
Happy Birthday- we all love you so very much!

And another reason to remember this day- Felix's jump from 23 miles, breaking the sound barrier.

Malbun

Took my Aunt Patti and cousin Hayley up to Malbun for lunch one afternoon. We decided to ride up on the Sareis bahn and eat at the mountain resturaunt. It was a little chilly the whole way up. The sun came out for a few minutes so we decided to hike down. It was a nice walk, we barely missed the rain.

Lily slept on the couch while we ate lunch.
