LOVING the soft soft grass

the stream that runs by the park

Ry, Gabe watching Morgan get a drink

the park!! there is a little soccer field to the left behind that fence and right next door to the firestation:)

SOOO, our friends and sponsors (Donavan and Erin Laskey) had us over to their house on Saturday night for a little BBQ. We met a few new couples who are AWESOME! One girl in particular, JEN, knew of a house that would be coming available in her village OBERSTAUFENBACH. So we searched for it online and could not find it. Jen got the landlords number for us and we called her. The next door neighbors are Dan and Sarah Rees who are also in Ryan's squadran and Jen happened to be taking care of their house while they are back in the states. Their house is a replica of the one we could possibly rent, so she let us in to check out the floor plan. While we were in the driveway Ryan called the German land-lady (whom he spoke with yesterday) and she had talked with her husband and they had decided no pets:( We were so bummed. It's in a great little village and close to most of our friends. Sooo...I called her back and begged:) She said she had to speak with her husband and to ring her back this evening...I called and she said YES!! oh Lord! We are so happy to have a nice place to live and close to our friends and immersed in a German village! however, I told her we'd move in and forgot to ask her if we could see it first:) so we'll have to call her back tomorrow to have a look before we finalize. We are so so so so very thankful for the connections we have made and the help we have received. I can not imagine doing all this with out friends and helpers!
