Winter Break Preview Photos

Well aware most of you didn't REALLY want to hear about Eric Bana and Hugh Jackman.

We've had two weeks of Winter Break AND a July 4th double birthday, so I haven't had a chance to sit AT ALL, let alone sit at the computer.

Right now, the last day of break, the four kids are busy running up and down the stairs, in and out from the porch and locking eachother out of the house.

So this will have to be quick.

I made these collages of Winter Break photos for our great-parents who don've have access to a computer.

Our July 4th Birthday Boys above.  The gang, Matthew with the boys' girlfriend Saphyre and Ryan back on a horse after a 9 month hiatus.

The birthday party was a BLAST!  Aussie good natures making it the hit it was.  (Note: most Germans I know would have walked out in disgust!)  And we spent this past weekend at THE LARGEST MEDIEVAL FEST IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE!  (What?!  They don't HAVE medieval fests in Africa and South America?!!!)  Having now been to medieval fests in four countries on three continents - and BOTH hemispheres - bet you can't wait for what I have to say about those!

Let the third school trimester begin!
