Getting Warmer..

As P had his playtime this morning, I overheard his adventure:
"Take me at a-London! I wanna go to a-London!" "You wanna go wis (with) me?" "Ok we're going to be at a-London!"... I LOVE seeing his imagination at work!  He counted 13 cars in a row yesterday with his Daddy.  We're such proud parents!

The past few weeks have been SO COLD here in Germany.. And now that the temperature has been between 32-40ish Farenheit, many of us are finding ourselves making comments about how warm it is outside.  It's kind of funny, and yesterday I even agreed to go to the indoor pool with Daniel and Parker simply because I knew I wouldn't freeze to death upon leaving.

Speaking of COLD...Back in January, we went to Garmisch... In Bavaria, the Southern Alps of Germany.  That's a place where the freezing weather doesn't feel so freezing because you're in the Alps and you just know its supposed to be cold.  This trip was our 2nd time as a complete family, but #3 for me and P.  Here we are at the top of the Partenkirchen Gorge.  It is such a beautiful place, and the whole walk is about a 4-5 mile hike.





We made it!

 

Here's a typical sight in my kitchen:  :) This is Parker's Drawer... Don't overthink the sanitation of a plastic dish that I may bring goodies in....

 

AIRMAN OF THE YEAR BANQUET
7 Feb 2012



The cake



As you may have heard, Mr. Wise was Airman of the Year for Security Forces on Ramstein, then he moved up to the next level and was awarded Airman of the Year for the 86th Mission Support Group.  This nominated him to be selected from 7 people to represent the entire Wing.  He didn't get selected at THIS level, but the dinner was fun, the cake was much prettier than it was tasty, and the guy who won over Daniel was a super-nice guy that D was glad for.  Especially since he's not staying active duty, D was a bit relieved, and also very honored to have been recognized among one of the largest MSGs in the whole Air Force.
