Sawyer, me, and Livvy - This one is a classic. I got the job of babysitting for a day...and you can tell. There is Sawyer (Annas little boy) trying to sqirm out of my grasp and living crying...while all at the same time I am trying to get them to smile. If you look really closly you will see a little baby puke on my shoulder that I forgot to wash of from little livvy. Man do I miss my little niece and nephew.

Dad, me and the little lady - That little lady is so darn sweet! When my family very first backpacked through Europe we stopped by her house. Being a 5 year old who just had a long journey filled with dirty toilets and bread and cheese. This place was heaven! I still remember every detail....how she spoiled us kids with chocolate and cake! The last time my dad came down here to Germany, we decided to go visit her once again. Seeing her was like no time passed at all! Everything was just how I remembered it (but this time I could speak to her in German:) We call her Oma (thats grandma in german)

Skiing - The first week I got here the Ebisch family asked me if I would like to go skiing in Austria. Of course my answer was YES! It was the perfect way to start out my german adventure. Living a dream....

Villa - My dad bought an old torn down villa here in Schwarzenberg Germany. It has alot of work to be done...but GREAT potential. These are pictures of when Helena and Chris stopped by to visit me on there way to Isriel. We started on the windows of the villa first, taking of all of the paint so we can get to the origianal wood and start sanding ect. Working there for a few hours everyday. We worked hard...but played hard also:)

Italy - We have made it a new tradition to go to Italy every september because it ended up be SO MUCH FUN! We go there with the Ebisch family (the family I am currently living with) We are right next to the beach..and we get there just in time when the rush of people have just left. So it is this beautiful beach with thousands of umbrellas and tables all set up...but almost completley empty. With that and the italian ice cream...we were in heaven!
