Day Nine of the Grand Adventure

Aimee is out of town and we are on day nine of our grand adventure. People have been asking me if we are surviving as though we're treading water or something. We feel like we are at the water slide! We're having a great time! While we miss mommy dearly, we have had some great "guy time." We look forward to seeing her tomorrow!

Day Three of our Grand Advnture

Aimee is out of town and the boys survived day three (albeit on corndogs)! Here is the boys recap...

War Wounds



In the last couple weeks both boys have suffered some battle wounds! Owen got a black eye when Jacob's matchbox car zoomed too fast and hit his eye. (The red hair is from a costume he wore to school for "Fasching") Jacob had to visit the emergency room in Austria after cutting his head. He was on a tour of the castle we were staying in (now a Christian retreat center) and tripped in the dungeon and hit the wall with his head. One stitch later he is feeling much bettter!

Missing Mom

Here is a video link of my "interview" with Jacob and Owen. We are surviving even though mom is away!
