catching up
I'm still trying to catch this blog up, so once again we must go back in time....
Easter was over and the next weekend I headed to the Sauerland Stern Hotel for the PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) Conference. We went with about 7 people from our group at Katterbach, and there were over 300 women. It was an awesome weekend with a guest speaker by the name of Cynthia Heald and lots of classes. There were classes on board positions, personal growth, how to have better bible studies, etc. It was really quite informative, as well as fun. We laughed a lot and didn't sleep so much, by Monday we were tired! It was from Friday to Monday, and about 3 hours away. Jacob stayed busy with his babysitter Michelle and Kenny, and barely missed me. When I talked to him on the phone it sounded like he was having a great time.
The next couple weeks were full of meetings to finish up the last year, and begin the new year with the PWOC board. The weather warmed up so we were outside a lot, riding bikes and playing in the yard.
Of course we had to go find a rodelbahn, since it is now the season for those again. We found this one not too far from the house, about 1/2 hour. It was a little different than some of the others we have been on, you had to get off at the top and move your "bahn" to the track. But still a fun ride! They even have some animals that were on a walk through some woods, which was nice. On the way home we stopped at a yummy greek restaurant, it is now our favorite. (That changes pretty frequently!) It is in a little town called Muhr am See which is near some very large lakes. Kenny plans to so some fishing in the lakes out there when he has some time off.
So, that has caught us up into May!
