Travelling

The little Doener Tier is waiting for his departure. He is not quite sure wether to feel protected by that M16 in the background or be worried that he will end up as a Kebab?

Paul's Address

Won't be published here.
But if you want to know where to send coffee to, send me an e-mail.
He layed over in Ireland and Mannis (I am not sure where that is, but when he called upon google, it came up with google.kg) and was moved forward earlier today.
Time difference to Eastern time is +9 1/2 hrs.

The Adventures of the little Doener Tier


Doener's Dad is leaving tonight. The brave little Doener is going on this adventure with him. From time to time you will be able to read about the adventures this little fella as he will accompany Doener's Dad to Afghanistan.
Emma-Louise has actually adopted Doener from Doener's Dad, but since he is leaving she wanted him to take Doener "and send pictures". To ease this deployment for the girls and help them see that he is "at work", what he does and where he lives.

News, News, News

I have accepted a job offer in a different organization of my current employer.
This is very exciting news, it is a big promotion for me and a completely new challenge.
I will be working very closely with major airworthiness authorities, for the most part the FAA and EASA, and support the certification process of our engineering division.
It means that I will be moving away from Product Support and the Main Campus, it means that I will never occupy the new office I was supposed to move to that had a view of the runway, but it also means that I will move into our Research and Development facility that is only about 10 minutes from our house, my new office has a window overlooking the woodlands. Not a bad view either!

Opposites attract!

CRCT Test or Grundschulabitur

In the State of Georgia, all 5th Grade students have to pass the CRCT test in order to advance to 6th Grade, regardless of their GPA.
The students are tested in the following subjects:
English, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies
5 days of intense testing has come and gone and 3 weeks later the preliminary results are in! She passed, and passed "exceeding the standard".
Christel-Ann is going to Middle School next School year.
Now we are looking forward to the end of the school year, Emma-Louise is "almost a Kindergardner" and will celebrate that with a Party on June 4th. And June 12th will be Christel-Ann's "Bridging" ceremony marking the end of Elementary School. But to me it seems like yesterday that Paul came home from Iraq at 2 am in the morning and surprised Christel-Ann with his presence on her first day at Wuerzburg American Elementary School in Germany. Emma-Louise was still 6 days away from being born!

Care to guess?

Which one is Georgia and which one is her brother Gasper?
