Ahhh...back in Tuebingen having afternoon coffee at the Weinstube.

Make that hot chocolate for Izzy.

Allie wants to move...and she is getting closer every day.

Isabelle checks out our "ride" back to Stuttgart in Atlanta. The trip on the airplane back to Tuebingen was a little bumpy and very tiring. We found that 1. turbulence can bring you to your knees, 2. Isabelle should never drink more then 2 cans of juice or an out of diaper experience may occur, 3. Adults traveling with children should be allowed more then 1 free alcoholic beverage with dinner, 4. Bribing will only get you so far with a toddler and begging won't get you any farther. 5. Jet-lag sucks the life out of you and whining makes it a hundred times worse.

We hope to make the most of the 5 months or so we have left here. Tickets are around $500 from Des Moines for any last visitors!
