Out For A Walk....



As we stated in our newsletter, we have a new way to meet people in Hradec Kralove.
Here she is...our 10-month-old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Caramelka.
Every day Ginger and Caramelka enjoy getting exercise together. When out on walks, everyone wants to stop and pet Caramelka. She has helped us meet new people and is a great conversation starter. Dogs are a very important part of life in the Czech Republic.

Aikido with Hayden



Hayden has found a new sport...Aikido...a Japanese defense sport. Here he is sporting his new Aikido suit! Watch out...Hayden has secret defense moves! Every Tuesday and Thursday, Hayden attends classes at the local gym with our friend, Michael. Michael is one of the instructors and helped Hayden enroll in the class and find the suit. Hayden is meeting new kids and being a great witness in his class! Great job, Hayden!

Playing the Piano!


In November, Taylor began piano lessons. Taylor is practicing on his keyboard!
After only 9 lessons, Taylor's teacher says he has a gift. He is already playing and coordinating both hands. I am thoroughly amazed at Taylor's ability to read music. Way to go, Taylor.
We are very proud of your hard work!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!






Happy Birthday....dear Hayden

On March 3, we had the privilege of celebrating Hayden's 10th birthday!
It is really hard to believe we have two young men...no more single digits.
It was alot of fun going to Beckiland and celebrating birthdays with our team
But, we also enjoyed Hayden's transformer party with Aunt Juanita.
Thanks, Granny and Papa for all the fun treats to make Hadyen's 10th birthday so special! Birthdays are so much fun!
