Major renovations

I spent a few months doing some big renovations to Simone's old place. We moved in last month. I also created a scale model of the place complete with little versions of us, including Tasha and Leo. It was interesting working with the place this way to even incorporate bits of Feng Shui into the placement of our furniture and objects.

Great visit

So, Patty and Brad came to visit in March and we had a great time. I think Germany is looking for a couple of engineers to move over. That's what I hear. Really.


Victoria loved hanging out with them so much that she had special names for them immediately - Pitty and Him-Him. She really had a great time, as did we all.
We went to Heidelberg at some point during the trip, and toured the castle there. It's a beautiful place and a fantastic example of a fortress type castle with an amazing 'courtyard'. The courtyard is huge, and it's actually a whole area to walk around. The town is also unique in that it has a very international university. Actually I've read it is the oldest university in Germany. So the school also gives the already fascinating city an intersting twist, as do the remaining US soldier barracks.


Great visit and we hope to see them again soon!

Long time no post

So, I'm going to try get some updates going here. Been busy and lazy all at the same time in regards to the ol blog. The laziness, that is.
