Art Day

Today, we went to the Hensals for a little bit of art fun. We are going to start doing a Bible hour for the kids soon, so we were working on a mats for the kids to sit on. The kids all had a grand time and were all good, too.

 

 

 

 

Check It Out

I've decided to try and do a separate blog for some of my more creative efforts. Head on over and check it out. It is a little sparse now, but hopefully will fill up soon.

The Zoo

One of our favorite things to do when we still lived in Oklahoma was to go to the zoo. It was pretty close to our house and we had a season pass. Abby and I loved going with friends for play dates or by ourselves for a Mommy and Abby day. Vienna has a great zoo, too. I've heard it described as a modern zoo in an imperial setting. I think that is a great description. There are several great new animal places, like the new elephant house which Abby loves, but you can't forget where you are by looking around you. Here are a few pictures from a recent family trip day.

Road Warrior

Today, our child finally joined the ranks of children with a bicycle. That's right folks we just got our kid a bike. We had talked about getting her one in the States, but decided not to for two reasons basically 1)she was borderline ready for one before we left 2) we would just have to ship it and we weren't sure about storage. So, today we headed off to the bike store and Abby picked one out she liked. In Europe, many children start riding a bike with out pedals, its called a laufrad. See Ira and Kari's blog for description. Well, Abby was dead set against a bike with pedals, and told us she would not be using them. Well, it took only a few minutes before she got the hang of it. She looks so cute riding around with her helmet and everything.

In other news, you may have noticed a new look to the blog. Don't feel hurt if you don't see your name in the "Blogs We Read" section. I'm working on getting everyone up there. You have to understand how little patience I have for this tech stuff, so it might take a bit. In the mean time, Summer, if you see like 50 hits a day on your blog from Vienna, don't worry I'm not stalking you. I'm just going to your blog to get everyone I want on mine. I'm sure there's an easier way, but this is what is working for me.
