Ich möchte mein Fahrrad fahren

auf English: "I like to ride my bicycle"

Mein neues Fahrrad!!!!

It works just fine, in fact it's the best bike i've ever had, but sometimes when i'm feeling lazy I will take the train... 

nose job

Hannah is tearing it up on the pitch (soccer field), Gabi is winning awards, and Matthew is... having cosmetic surgery to keep his beautiful face beautiful.

Just kidding, the poor kid just had his deviated septum corrected. 

Hope you can breathe now, Matt!

(this picture is fair game since you posted it on the internet already)

best of show

Gabi's giraffe won "Best of Show"

You rock, GABI!



"Are those your legs?"

My mom is so cool. She sent me an email entitled: "Are those your legs?" 

I was a little bit nervous to open it, but was pleasantly surprised to see this picture of Hannah, my superstar sister, with some incredibly muscular legs.

She is the #19 who is making the other #19 look like a fool.

I am still proud to be a Liberty Lancer, Class of 2005!

(yes, Stacie a Lancer is real! and wiki is totally reliable)

Hannah is now a Cheyenne Mountain Indian and on Tuesday night (13.3.2012) she played on my home field, District 20 stadium (it was grass when I played back in the day).

I'm so proud of her, Varisty Soccer as a freshman, BIG DEAL!

Cheyenne won 2-0, which is ok because I love Hannah more than I love my Alma Mater.

gäggle

Another tradition!

It's the Deutsch version of Halloween.

and insteak of "TRICK OR TREAT" it's: "gägglely geck eier und speck..."

 We dressed up as vampires and walked around Sand to collect:

eggs, money, alcohol, candy...

 frighteneing, we know.

Sinah

Anne

 We got lots of stuff!

She's fits in really well.

Had to make a stop to fix Claudi's jeans.

 We would knock on doors and say "gäggley geck, eier und speck... (that's all I can remember/spell)" people would give us money/alcohol/eggs... and some of them would invite us into their house to eat or drink or both.

Scary vampires eating soup at the last house we visited.

LECKER!

ich verstehe viel Deutsch!

aber ich spreche nicht so gut

I started an Intensivkurs on 13.02.12 in Offenburg.

  Um 8.04 kommt der Zug an.
Ich komme um 8.22 in Offenburg an.
Deutsch ist sehr schwierig (difficult!)  

Raum 17

The school is only a 5 min walk from the bahnhof (train station).

It's on the HauptStraße (Main St.)

 

Der Bahnhof mit Schnee

Gleis 4 (track 4)

I take the 12.34 train back to Kehl and then study!

Offenburg is a cool city!

(not just because of this metal structure...)
