Christmas Eve in Castrop-Rauxel

Pre-Christmas TURKEY !

Pre-Christmas with the Family

Sterling Ballet

We enjoyed a Christmas dance concert in Sterling, starring children from Sterling (including cousins Taylor and Addisyn).

Playing Piano at Grammy's House

Playin' Piano is a favorite activity of all of Grammy's granddaughters... and Anna jumped on the bandwagon early and often...

Hangin' with the Hussons

Papa went to Vegas for a volunteer activity, so Anna and Mama hung out for a few days with Uncle Michael, Aunt Kat, Sarah(3), and Megan (1).

Carla's visit

Anna's good friend Carla visited us today and Papa practiced carrying 2 children in anticipation of Steffi's due date in April. We visisted the local playground under a blue sky but with a very COLD wind.

It's a Boy!

We found out today that we are expecting a BOY !

The Courchene's (and at least one Husson) in Colorado breathe a sigh of relief as the family name has a chance to live on.

Accessorizing the girlie girl

Happy Birthday Mama!

Steffi turned 29 on 21 November 2006. She invited all her friends over today and had a party. Anna wore the outfit she received from Aunt Kat and her new 'spiffy' Puma shoes.

Happy Halloween - Trick or Treat in Denver

Come my lady, come come my lady...

You're my butterfly...

Sugar baby !

"Warte doch mal, du siehst doch nix!"

Nun hat Anna aber ordentlich Durscht.

Mal ne' Staerkung zischendurch

Wer hat hier mehr Spass?

Oma und Opa zu Besuch

Enten und Schwaene fuettern und wieder auf den Spielplatz, ein toller Tag fuer Anna.
