Fasching Parade 2008

Fasching is the German version of Mardi Gras. Taylor was in the club and made lots of decorations. The whole school got in the spirit and had a great parade.
Taylor's class represented the Masks of Bavaria.
This is part of Tori's class, they represented the Drums of Bavaria.
Here is Tori (in her signature color of pink camo) and her friend Amelia.

Furniture from Belgium

I have been asked by a few people to show them pictures of the furniture we bought in Belgium so here it is. Some of you know that Troy bought his "Monster Truck" when we were in Texas and the reason was, "To go to Belgium and buy furniture"! At the time we had no orders, just a hope of going back to Europe some day. Well, as you know, we got orders to Louisiana following Texas. It's a far cry from Belgium, let me tell you! Then, it was Italy...We were closer! Now, Germany...Sounds like time for a road trip!! So, with our kids in tow, we drove across the country, literally, and made our way. The first piece we saw was this Butler's Table. It has a removable tray on top.
As you can see, three sides come down and you can put "stuff" inside. What else does an Artillaryman put inside, but a cannon!
This one is "The Bench". I had completely given up hope of ever finding one that was affordable and plain enough for my taste. Troy made it his "mission" to find one that day! This is actually a bench made out of an antique bed, the back is the head board, the sides are the foot board, and the front and seat (storage inside) are made from the sides.
