Here are the girls in matching dresses before we left for church this morning. Below, Tori is wearing the snowman's hat and scarf.
Here is Taylor starting to build the snowman.

We have a great hill near our house and right after breakfast we grabbed the sleds and ran for the hill!
Even Daddy took a turn. I had to take pictures so you won't see any of me coming down.
Here is Taylor starting a snowman.
The snow was perfect and it snowed off and on all day. Is it really Spring?
The finished product with Taylor and Tori proudly smiling!
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.
Taylor was in a Spelling Bee on Friday. She got 2nd, we are very proud of her!
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.
The chapel had a talent night on Friday and Taylor had three entries. The first picture is her reciting a poem she wrote called:
Here is Taylor playing her recorder, she learned the song in Recorder Club at school.
This is her third entry, a painting she made and gave to me for Christmas.
Tori took all these pictures and chose a behind the scenes entry to Talent Night. More of Tori's pictures later.
Troy with a Spiderman cake and decorations.
Tori made her Daddy an Army bookmark for his birthday.
What else do you get an Artillaryman for his big day but a cannon!
Tori before the ride started.
Tori was not amused with this ride (you can see her thumbs down if you look closely), it was toooo slow!!
Tori with Kara and her friends.
This was the first thing we saw when we got to the fair and the girls had been wanting to do this since they saw it in Italy.
The girls got all day ride bracelets and did they have fun!
