Jenn's Mindless Musings: Life Lately

Ok, so lots has been happening in the last two weeks! Our new exchange student Verena, or our "daughter", from Germany arrived last Friday. We've been busy getting her ready for school and getting through the first week of being parents. So far, so good. :) We managed to get all of the school supplies she needed, get her registered for classes, and James has done a good job of remembering to pick her up each day.

We've already done a few fun things and are helping her get adjusted to small town America. We've introduced her to miniature golf (she's pretty good at it too!) and dip-and-dots ice cream (which she liked!). Our town also had a small German Festival last night that we went to. Obviously it was no where near what a real German festival is but we had fun eating big pretzels, etc. Verena has attempted to teach us some German words...yea, don't really remember most of what she has taught us but it's been fun! This coming weekend we are going up to Kansas City for Labor Day Weekend. Since James and I have off work and Verena has off school we are going to stay up there for a few days and go to a water park and roller coaster park. That is going to be a blast! Check out our beautiful daughter Verena :)

Today we went to Laylee's 1st birthday party. It was in the park and we had so much fun! Lots of food and friends. Check out some of the pictures from this afternoon.
