Flea Market in Darmstadt

Harmony & I loved these hats. We both wanted one but didn't know what we would do with it if we had one. So we came away empty handed.

Many different kinds of olives.

Visit to Germany

Aaron went on a business trip and Harmony was going to be alone for awhile. So I graciously consented to go help out with the kids while he is gone. :-)
Dad sent a package for Jack with peanut clusters, misc. candy and snacks, and a picture of Jack, Grandpa & Axa. Jack was thoroughly enjoying his package!








We're having lots of fun, if you can't tell!

A Short & Wonderful Visit

Early risers watching a video in Grandpa & Grandma's bed.

Puppy Kisses!

Jaimie got more pictures than I did. It was an awesome visit! We love our girls! (and their dad too.)

Family Project

Uncle Tom Howell gave Jaimie his parents' dining room set and we decided to re-cover the chairs with fabric and plastic. The whole family helped. It was a fun and easy project.




The finished product! Looks nice!

Explanation of "Keith's Maiden Voyage"

Our friend, Keith Barney who is a parapalegic, has always dreamed of riding a motorbike but never thought it was possible. Brian loves riding his Goldwing and decided he would get a side car so Keith could ride with him. Then they got to thinking that Keith could probably drive a bike with a side car on it because he wouldn't have to balance the bike. For almost a year, they have been looking for just the right side car and bike. Keith found the side car in Seattle and the bike in Denver. Brian and Keith went to get the bike just before Christmas. Keith's friend helped him attach the side car and Brian drove to Utah to take it for a spin. It worked great. Keith then rigged a hand control to shift the bike. Finally, it was done. Keith,Brian and their spouses took a trip to St. George to go out for the first time on a ride. Although the weather was a little chilly, they had a great time and are planning many more road trips in the future, even a cross-country trip. I think Keith can handle it. He once hand cycled (bike using hands for pedals) from Washington State to Washington DC ! I think there are some great times ahead for both of them!
