Summer was so jam packed with constant fun that I fell woefully behind on my blog.  I finally did a Christmas update and when I looked back at the blog I realized I had not shared anything since July!  Wow, how time flies.  In those precious days before school resumed we had our fill of summer fun. We hit German festivals, the Black Forest for camping with friends, played soccer and tennis and enjoyed our last goodbyes with friends as they left Germany for their next chapters! What a whirlwind!
