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.
