Riley's Last Soccer Game

Here is Riley at his last soccer game. He scores and does his version of a victory dance. Gotta love it...

Halloween Pictures

We celebrated Halloween at the Newell's house at the Wildpark about 1/2 mile from our house. Here is a picture of Riley aka Harry Potter, Olivia Newell aka Harry Potter and Jillian Newell aka Renaissance Lady (she requested that people not call her a princess). There was around thirty-one children in attendance and they all had a wonderful time. It took them about an hour to walk around the Wildpark (the W is pronounced as a V) to collect the candies from both the German and American families in the area. Everyone, children and adults, had a wonderful time on this cold wet night.

Daddy and Hyland getting ready to go door to door with the other parents and thirty plus children that we in attendance. I am sure this is one American holiday that the German's wish would not take hold...but I think that it is too late.

Miss Hyland and Miss Jillian. Jilli loves Hyland and I must say that the feeling is very mutual.

Hyland, Leopard Girl, isn't she beautiful!!!!! Whiskers and all. What an awesome smile she has...what a happy baby...toddler.

Riley, Harry Potter, doesn't he look so handsome. I think he looks so cute with the glasses...but thank heavens he does not have to wear real ones.

The Colors of Fall in Niedernhausen - Engenhahn

These were taken across the road from our house....we truly live in a beautiful location. We even has a dusting of snow last Thursday morning....so beautiful.

I love the autumnal colors...God truly has a wonderful imagination...this is the grand view I have when I come through the forest and start heading down the hill to our house...isn't it awesome?

More of the same..........


Looking down towards the village.....

I took this one at around 6:30pm and it was getting dark and it was really cold...still very beautiful. You can see the trees on the ridge...I call them the "lollipop trees" because they are round and look like lollipops...they were green when we moved here, now they are red and now Jeff call's them the lollipop sticks because all the leaves are gone.
