Happy Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow will be our first Thanksgiving overseas, but not our first one away from home.  We spent Thanksgiving 2008 in Ft. Lauderdale at a Cracker Barrel, just the 2 of us!  This year, however, I think we'll be foregoing the turkey and dressing and instead pulling an "A Christmas Story" and dining in a Chinese restaurant :-) Wouldn't the pilgrims be proud?  We so wish we could be home with all of our loved ones, but know that we are incredibly thankful for each and every one of you!!!

I'm also thankful for being a Hausfrau and not having to go to work because that gives me time to update our blog with some random pictures we've recently taken.

The Lahn River in Wetzlar, which Serge's dad recreated for us in a beautiful painting  

Rick Reinert is an awesome artist - check him out!

Serge on his first day of work - It's only a 15 minute walk to the office. 

P.S. He changes his shoes when he gets in!

And this was obviously taken before the time change; it doesn't look like this at 7:30 anymore!

Nate getting a lesson in German waste management - He's the best!

I'm so sad this is the only picture we took with him! 

At dinner with Nate at Hauptwache we had a lovely, lengthy, impromptu Goethe reading - only in Deutschland! :-)

We hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!!  We love you!!
