today is the last day of school for the boys. helen's last day was yesterday. we have about 5 weeks off for summer holiday. i thought it was really neat listening to the kids talk on the playground at school this morning - jayden said "i'm going to germany today" - another student replied "i'm going to spain and england" - another student replied "i'm going to france and then england".
today we are leaving for a long weekend in germany.... mudersbach to be exact. we will be staying at the home of Frau and Herr Mockenhaupt. ross met them when he was in junior high visiting europe with a music program. we will be staying in what is known as the "honeymoon suite" .... the Mockenhaupt's have a section of their home where people can stay for an extended period of time. ross and i stayed there when we backpacked through parts of europe on our honeymoon almost 9 years ago!

at the end of july we will spend a week in paris, france... and eurodisney. hopefully in august we will spend a few days along the coast of holland or possibly one of the islands in the north.
we plan to seek out local swimming pools to stay cool and the boys will be working on a summer reading program to earn some special rewards and helen .... welll - i'm hoping she can learn some more letters.... she has finally mastered her colors ... with the occasional response "mom, i'm not SURE what color that is.... will you just tell me"... but she will turn to daddy and say "oh, yeah that's blue!"... stinker!
here are a few pictures taken at helen's dutch preschool. she will return there in the fall 2 days a week. she loves her teacher and seems to enjoy the school.

It is fun to check in on you via your blog :) How fun for you guys to experience another country. It is fun to hear you say that you're going to Germany for school break and stopping by Paris, France. Here we are camping and swimming...maybe a trip up north but not to another country :) Love it! Keep up the great work with your blog. The kids are getting big and Helen is so darn cute!!
Helen is so adorable! Of course, I am very partial to girls with big brown eyes so I just might be a little biased. But I don't think so!
