Hello guys!  I just wanted to send a picture of my Christmas gift/birthday gift/Mother’s Day gift and any other gift for the next year as per Ken.  I just picked it up today and am beyond thrilled with it!  The colors are amazing and I am totally melted by the fact that the artist painted 3 little girls in there just for me. We found a local artist in our tiny little town here and asked that he make a painting for us.  His work is amazing!  I had to take the picture at an angle to keep the glare from the oils down.  The girls are painted a bit older than they are but one does have curly hair! I am also sending along Sadie’s birthday picture. Hope you enjoy!

We are packing up here in Germany and will fly back to the states (again) on the 31st of January.  The computer will be packed up so we will be off line from the 26th on.  Things for France are looking very good and Ken has met with his future boss.  The company is making plans for our move and it will be a year to a year and half assignment this time.  A big note here: no paper work has been signed as of yet so things could still fall through.  We will let you know when things are more definite.
