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!

No words needed?! The Mini Cooper and MC's Kat. I wanted a pictures of these 2 since we realized that the colors are almost identical.

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?

Our Lanai


My little piece of heaven, especially on a cold evening. The Lanai with our Hot Tub. It's still a little bit plain, but the plants are one step in the right direction....

Family Picture

There we are! All 4 of us at Bree and Dustin's wedding!

Cutting up the dancefloor

Notice that Paul is dancing with his two Girls but there is not a picture of him and I dancing? We did, but the Girls were busy taking pictures of other things when we were on the dance floor. They took some crazy pictures! Christel-Ann had such a good time that she has requested to go to "adult parties" more often now.
Emma-Louise is dancing with Bree. Finally. Finally Emma-Louise could show Bree that the color of her fingernails matched the wedding colors (PINK!). And she just wanted to "uhh and ahhh" over the dress and dance the night away.
No one was safe from dancing with Emma-Louise. I believe she had every willing soul on the dance floor at one point and time. And if nobody was willing to dance with her, she danced by herself. Here she is with the father of the bride.
