The highlight of last week was a new bundle of joy!! We are so happy for Rich and Linda!

She brightened up our cold, cloudy days. Fall has definitely hit Germany. Out come the hats, wool coats, heavy tights, scarves and gloves. We are surrounded by a beautiful forest that is now orange, red, and yellow. If the white stuff would just stay away we'd enjoy the colors more! There is a cute little tree outside our apartment. One day it was full of green leaves, the next day all of the green leaves had fallen. They hadn't even had time to change color.
