Weekend News

For homework every weekend Jackson has to do his weekend news. Here is what he did this to turn in tomorrow.

His writing skills are improving so much. It's s neat to see him write sentences all by himself...even if a few words are misspelled. I am so proud of him!

Grace's Horse Ride

 Grace has been asking to ride a horse for so long so you can image how excited she was when I told her we were going this afternoon. For a while she was very unsure and didn't even want to pet one. Thank goodness she is over that!

We went with some friends who take riding lessons in a village not far from us.

With her helmet on, she is ready!

 Jackson just enjoyed playing during her ride. I told him next time it would be his turn.

 Getting Gypsy ready.

This is how she looked the entire ride. Huge smile on her face!

I see riding lessons in our future!

Home Sweet Home

We are officially home owners in Germany!

The move in date isn't until August, but we are preparing in many ways to make the move to Fockenberg-Limbach.

It's an exciting chapter for the Scherden Family...

Brugge, Presidents Day Weekend

For my mom's first weekend here we took a trip to Brugge. Since we had Monday off it was a good time to  do a road trip. I love Brugge and wanted my mom to see it. We rented an apartment instead of doing the hotel option. I love being able to have extra room, our own kitchen we can cook breakfast and dinner in and a little bit more privacy. We have learned it is the best way to travel here in Europe!

Grace Love being able to pet the horses.

 Hanging out in the Gros Markt area.

 In front of the oldest church in Brugge. We learned there are 17 in the city, 16 catholic and 1 protestant.

Jason enjoying a bowl of mussels.

 Could not get enough belgium chocolate!

 We took a horse carriage ride through the city. The kids loved it!

 The picture is a little blurry, but I thought it was too cute.

 My favorite chocolate shop. 

Valentine's Dinner

We aren't big Valentine's people...but we do celebrate a special way every year.

We put the kids to bed and enjoyed an amazing dinner that Jason made. He is such a sweetheart!

He made bacon wrapped filet mignon, lobster tails and crouton crusted mashed cauliflower. It was SO good! 

Kids' Valentine Cards

I finally finished the kids Valentine cards for their friends at school. I found this idea on Pinterest and loved it!
