Big News in a Small Package

A little envelope came in the mail yesterday...from Malta where Dave's sister and brother in law are living right now.  To celebrate their ten year anniversary, they have invited the family (each at our own convienience to come visit them either in Malta or in Germany!)  Isn't that amazing?!! What an incredible gift!!! We are so excited about getting to see some of their stomping ground.  We don't know when the right time will be yet - but it is so wonderful to have something like this to look forward to.  We have already told the kids.  We showed them on a map where we live and the places where their aunt and uncle live....and Ethan, after whooping with joy and running around the house - stopped in his tracks and with a bit of a worried look in his eyes, said, "But...but I don't speak German." So, Dave taught them a few words this morning.  Now they feel a little more prepared;)

Thank-you Paul and Jen!! This is SO EXCITING!!!!! We are really looking forward to coming out!

    Oh Ethan!! At least now he realizes there are other languages - he used to be so confused when he would try to play with children at McD's etc. and they wouldn't respond -- he didn't realize they didn't understand him. Glad he feels more ready to take on Germany after a German lesson -- not sure how much David remembers from his high school German.
