Hammer Time!

Our good friends, Noa and Julie came to visit us the beginning of August. It was such a special trip and we are so thankful that they were able to come to our part of the world. We were able to see and do many things while they were here, but most of all just enjoyed each other's company.

Since they are expecting their first baby in November it was so much fun to see Julie with her growing tummy. It was amazing how much she grew just in the two weeks they were here!

I didn't get many pictures of the trip that we took to Spangdalem with the Yost's for Tom's baseball tournament. It was so great having the six of us together again...re-living the Okinawa days! If there would be a way for a Navy doc to make it here we would be in heaven!

Jason and I have already started to plan our trip to Washington State next summer to visit them and "Sally."

The boys went to and FCK game in Kaiserslautern. That is something that Noa really wanted to do when he was here.
The six of us went to a sushi restaurant in Saarbrucken for our 8 year anniversary. Thanks to my parents who keep our kids and the Green's kids.
I just love her. ;-)

Lunch in Heidelberg.
No, this is not wine. The waitress brought Grace apple juice in a wine glass. She loved it...
as you can tell.
Jackson loves to eat lemons.

Love...
Okinawa crew back together again in Germany. Crazy how things all come back around.

We ate at a fantastic place near the LaGraves place. Cherished memories...
Saying our goodbyes to the Hammers. Very sad, but even more thankful for our time with them.
