Here I am again after a long break. These last weeks have been very busy and time just passed by like an arrow. I have been busy with translating a book from German into English,with learning Spanish and teaching English and all kinds of other things. Now I am looking forward to the upcoming spring. I am soooooo tired of the winter.

Yesterday we took a trip to Springville to see the Bachmanns there.Rebecca is almost three years old and much fun. She is so entertaining,no boring minute with her. And I am very much looking forward to seeing my family in Germany pretty soon. Annalie has grown so very much since I left.She walks now and is so very cute. I really love my two granddaughters.

The dancing girl from the back-no picture-


Yesterday we spent the afternoon in Springville with Emily Joerg and Rebecca. We had a good time and Rebecca and I (Birgit) played togehter in her littel( big) playhouse.

After a while I took something out of a little basket. Rebecca saw it and said: " Don't mess up my place!" I looked at her,saying: "You want your house clean and tidy" and with a serious expression in her face Rebecca answered (with emphasis) " OF COURSE!!!!!!! This little episode with my tidy granddaughter made all of us laugh.

Last weekend we had visitors from Germany ,too. Kristin ,Annalie and Michi came to see us (thanks to Skype). It was soooooo much fun to see Annalie walk,blowing a pink baloon for her ( and she said; BALL) and giving kisses to her Mom. I am so very thankful that we live in a time where all this is possible.
