this and that...



These are just some pictures from the past week I thought I'd share. This first one is really special to me because it shows a part of my summer that I have thoroughly enjoyed. These three guys are our interns, you may remember them from earlier posts. Well, they are three college guys that gave up their summer to come to Berlin and work hard. They have been selfless in so many ways and loved us and others so well, and they are really just a fun bunch to be around. On this particular occasion we had just finished our weekly "stammtisch" and then sang some worship songs together. It was such a sweet time, and although yahtzee night and WM finale stammtisch were fun, being in a community with my new and cherished brothers in Christ and worshiping our Lord beats all.
Tyler and I did finally have our Anniversary dinner, but we didn't end up in the TV tower like we thought we would. Turns out there was a two week wait to go there, so instead we headed over to Museum Island and enjoyed some fine cuisine and some BFF time by the canal.
We took a picture of our dessert with my Dad mostly in mind, because we knew he would love the two dessert selections we chose, German cheesecake and apfel streudel...YUM!
And, then back at the homestead during any given bath night, but particularly last week, this little guy found himself rather sudsy.
And, finally here is Henry in his new favorite head gear. Thanks to our ever so generous neighbors Jule, Grischa and particularly Joscha (Henry's bud), Henry was able to discover his new passion in life, biking. We borrowed their road bike for the weekend and to say Henry loved it would be an understatement. He screamed bloody murder every time we took him off of it, much to my embarrassment. But, I should have seen this coming seeing as how he is constantly trying to sneak a ride any time a bike is left vacant in the playground or anywhere. We can safely say that Henry has a need for speed.
Here's a better picture of us with the Interns from the left we have Seth, Tyler, Henry, Andrew, Joseph and Me and Maggie.
