Caleb turns 7!


I know. It is really hard to believe for me too. My sweet Caleb is already 7 years old! Time is really flying by quickly. He had a wonderful birthday! It started out with a morning scavenger hunt which led him to a Star Wars mask that he has been wanting for a LONG time.

His sweet big sister made him a train for his birthday. Just look at that! She painted each piece of wood and put wheels on it with a hammer and nails and everything! I was really impressed and he loved it!

Then after school, we went to his favorite indoor playground with his friends. We started by eating pizza...
Then he opened presents and ate some cupcakes. They weren't too interested in the cupcakes, because they just couldn't wait to start playing!

They drove go-carts...
Played soccer (of course)...

Carli climbed on the climbing wall...

Look how far she got!
They completely wore themselves out. He loved spending time with his buddies and after many Skype calls, he crashed!

Kreativer Frauen-Abend

The other day, we started a women's program at the office. It is a "Night of creativity" where once a month, a group of women get together and do something creative. I am so excited about this and I got to be the first teacher last week! This month we did painting. Next month, a friend will teach us all to make necklaces where we make and bake the beads at the office. Each month is a different theme and a different teacher. So what I did this month was taught everyone how to paint. I painted a simple flower painting....


and then walked everyone step by step how to paint their own version of this painting.


3 of the women have never painted before in their lives and one had never painted on canvas before! I was so impressed with how everyones turned out and they all got to take home their paintings! It was fun to see their personalities come out in their paintings. It was SO much fun and I can't wait until next month!
