Moving to Germany

It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog.  Our family, being in the Army, moved once again, this time to Germany in January 2014.  Our move here was not as spectacular as the trip to Texas, which we posted in detail earlier in this blog; however, we did visit my mom, Leslie, and Granny and Papa in Texas and Jenny's parents, Lizzie and her friends in Georgia before visiting Washington D.C. on our way to the airport in Baltimore.

In Mineola, Texas, we visited Granny and Papa before heading east to Atlanta.
Here is a picture of Rebekah with Granny at the Pizza Hut where Uncle Richard is the manager.

Our first several months in Germany were very difficult, getting our car from the shipping, finding a place to live and getting settled after moving around the world.  Getting our dogs here was especially difficult and expensive.  We were, however, able to visit a few places in the first year.  Our favorite place is probably Trier, where we see new things each time we visit.

We live in a beautiful town near Kaiserslautern amidst fields and rolling hills.  We enjoy walking our dogs in the fields and going on runs and the kids like to play at the fussballplatz, in the older part of town.  There is also a castle ruin (Falkenstein) just ten kilometers from our house.

My plan is to continue to backdate some posts.  I have posted a lot of pictures to Facebook, but while the blogging on that site is limited, I will blog about some of the more amazing trips we have been on and continue from here.  I hope that you continue to enjoy the stories we share as I continue to post about the Many Adventures of the Snethen Sieben.
