You can put lipstick on a pig . . .


but it's still a pig!!!

These are the words of Aaron when I attempted to get my family to eat brussell sprouts for dinner for the first time. I brought out some ranch dressing for them to dip them in or in Emily's case drench them in.

My family would say that I'm pretty lucky to have never had the experience of eating brusell sprouts growing up. In fact, I tried them for the first time a few months ago at work, where they are cooked in bacon grease and I thought, what's not to like. We received some in our Bountiful Basket one week, so I thought we'd give them a try. My mistake was that I left out the bacon grease. They didn't go over so hot.

In the words of Emily, "They smell like throw up and they taste like it too!"

I hate um. The English eat them all the time. I think I would rather eat the bacon greese without the sprout, thank you. It sure was fun to be with the family. We sure do love you all. Mark

That is so funny, I recently tried them for the first time and they really are disgusting! I guess there is a reason they have such a bad reputation.

Christmas in Germany

Christmas 2016 Bernkastel-Kues Christmas morning Our Christmas was a little different this year, or I guess a lot different because of being in a different country and far away from the family and friends we love. We celebrated about a week and a half early because Emily went to spend Christmas with her other family and Aaron had to work on Christmas. Emily left the day after the girls' last day of school, so when they came home from school we opened presents from each other and then by popular vote spent the rest of the night eating pizza and bowling at the bowling alley on base. The next day we woke up early to deliver Em to the airport. We were able to hit a couple of Christmas Markets in the beginning weeks of December with her and then we did a couple after she left. We thought it was kind of fun how each Christmas Market has their own mug that you can collect, so the collecting motivated Aaron a little more to hit multiple markets rather than to just stay ho...

6 Week Flu

SYMPTONS: FREQUENT VOMITING, EXCESSIVE FATIGUE, NAUSEA, LACK OF MOTIVATION SIDE EFFECTS: HOUSE TURNS INTO A PIG PEN, FAMILY MEMBERS WEAR DIRTY UNDERWEAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS, MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY ARE ACCUSED OF HAVING EATING DISORDERS FROM MALNUTRITION, YOUR BED & COUCH HAVE A PERMANENT INDENT, AND THE CARPET FROM HERE TO THE BATHROOM HAVE A WELL WORN PATH, PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH My friend recently told me there's a chance she "might" be pregnant. When I asked what might meant, she told me it could just be the flu. I laughed at her until I started experiencing the same symptoms. Even after a positive pregnancy test I worried that it might be all in my head. Thank heavens for a trip to the doctor, he confirmed that: WE ARE HAVING BABY NUMBER 2 !!!!!! I apologize to any of you who have asked recently when we are having more kids or why I am sick, and I didn't give you a straight answer . . . well now you know!
