Our House: November 2014

http://liddell6.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 24, 2014. For Veteran's Day we decided to go to Darmstadt. Only about 1/2 hour from where we live, Darmstadt was the capital of Hesse, which was an independent country until the formation of the German Empire in 1871. Side note, I recently read this. Article, and it mentions President Uchtdorf and his family lived in Darmstadt when the Berlin wall came down :). Here are some of the things we've seen so far. Wilhelminenplatz, with the Church of St. Ludwig in the background. We also notice...

Our House: February 2015

http://liddell6.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 2, 2015. I propose that there are actually 5 seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall, Christmas Winter, and Ugly Winter. I seriously get excited for Christmas Winter every year, and I especially love a White Christmas. It's beautiful, it's festive, it's magical. Usually the temperature isn't too terrible, and you can actually enjoy the outdoors. Sledding and building snowmen, then drinking Hot Cocoa to warm up. It's a Winter Wonderland. Sunday, February 1, 2015. Joe and I had the opportunity to t...

Our House: December 2013

http://liddell6.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 25, 2013. I do so love this tradition :) Last year we had one of the stockings rip, and this year we couldn't find one, so these are new, but temporary stockings. I'm hoping to get some new ones in Germany next year! Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men. My version of a last-minute Christmas card. Better late than never? Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Nothing Could Go Wrong, Right? Kids in the brig. How many of these knots can YOU tie? She's queen of the world.

Our House: May 2015

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Over Memorial Day weekend, Joe and I wanted to go explore Heidelberg. Our kids did not want to go walk around another boring town, looking at churches and castle ruins. What? Whatever, we went with out them. Who needs dumb kids anyway? Mark Twain wrote about Heidelberg castle, specifically the split turret (pictures below) in. Second is the Heidelberg Tun, the world's largest wine barrel. It was built in 1751 to hold all the wine that was paid as taxes from the local wine gro...

Saturday, December 27, 2014. Making the Yuletide Gay. Christmas Eve - new PJs. Christmas Morning - Stockings. You can't have Christmas without Gingerbread. Two days later ;). Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Here's our Christmas card for this year! This year we've had a lot of big changes. Here's a run-down of each person in our family. Cora - Finished up two years of homeschooling, having improved her grades GREATLY! Monday, December 22, 2014. The Christmas market at Ronneburg is a bit different because it h...

Our House: Maddy

Tuesday, July 21, 2015. I'm late posting this, but we DID celebrate Madelyn's birthday. Actually, back at the very end of May we had a COMBINED birthday party for Alex and Madelyn. Remember how we were supposed to have a party for Alex, and it kept getting later and later, and Madelyn kept reminding/bugging me about it? Well, I finally suggested that we do theirs together, and they actually thought it was a good idea. Phew! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We are a military family, and proud of it!

Thursday, February 13, 2014. Get Your Groove On. If you know me, then you might know that I love to dance. A lot. Really. A lot. It's very sad that my talent in this area does not equal my enthusiasm. I am not a good dancer. I think I mentioned once that I broke up with a guy because I didn't like the way he danced. It makes me cringe every time I think of it - not his dancing, but how dumb I was. Did you know that the first date Joe and I ever went on was Latin dancing? What society thinks I do. Deeper ...

Our House: March 2014

Wednesday, March 26, 2014. Annie was right, the sun came out. Everything was going great today. Great breakfast. We cleaned the house. Babysat a cute little boy. I wasn't mad anyone or anything. Feeling good. Then I went to the dentist. And then my dentist got started. Even as I'm writing this, my heart is starting to beat faster, and my hands are shaking a little. I'm asking for gas next time. Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Checked our finances, and we are not doing as good as we thought. (deep sigh)....Denti...

Our House: April 2015

Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Denmark, Last Days and What We Loved. I loved the classic white churches. These are the kind of churches that my dad remembers seeing a lot of on his mission, although we didn't see that many in the more populated areas. And I have never seen such immaculately kept cemeteries, with the short hedges, and a plethora of flowers - so pretty and peaceful. On our last night in Denmark we stayed in Hvalso in a farm house. Inside the museum - here's Joe pretending to be interested.

Our House: June 2015

http://liddell6.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 9, 2015. I had a great opportunity to chaperone a walking field trip of Wiesbaden with Cora and the 8th graders here. It was specifically focused on Jewish history and the Stolpersteine, or stumbling stones, around the city. I've mentioned the stumbling stones before on here, but I learned a few things, and I will talk more about those later. Our first stop was Gedenkort Schlachthoframpe. The trees are in sandstone holders inscribed with words from letters of the deportees. We also stopped ...
