Then and Now

September marks 3 years ago that we moved to Germany. We are starting on our 4th year here. WOW! Looking back, part of me never would have believed we'd make it this far! We went to Heidelberg and took photos on the bridge below the castle. Things have changed just a bit from then til now. We've been blessed with another child - Shelby is now the same age as Silas was when we moved here! The kids have all grown up so much. I remember that first day in Heidelberg like it was yesterday - not knowing a lick of German and being a bit nervous thinking EVERYONE was looking at US. Now we know that everyone IS looking at us and counting our FIVE kids! But it doesn't bother me now, like it did then. I just smile and think of how far we've come! We understand and speak enough German now that we sort of feel like locals...sort of!


God is good - and He has blessed us here in Germany. As the verse on the top of our blog states: Be strong and courageous...for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9. He has been with us from day one, and will continue to be with us here this year, and wherever we go from here!

A few more photos...

Icecream was the perfect ending to a fun day in Heidelberg!
