The Big Attack on Papi

She Attacks

She pounds him

She tried to seal the deal with the pillow in the face tactic

He comes to life and responds!

He ATTACKS big!

She musters her strength for the final counter! :)

Pictures Around our Home in Leutershausen

Our favorite local castle "Strahlenberg" Castle in Schreisheim.  We pass it every day on our way to and from work and have never taken that for granted as it is such a cool site from the 1200s.




These are our Leutershausen vineyards!  Check out the snow in the background.




This is the view from the vineyards behind our house. Our home is in the mix of community below.








The 2012 Baden Baden Christmas Market






Check out Jon's face as she SQUEEZES him!

Ice Skating in Swetzingen

Two hours of this position...it was a backbreaker! When we left my shirt was soaking wet with sweat from frying to prevent all three of us (penguin included) from hitting the ice!!...Needless to say Alexa could hardly stay on her feet but she kept yelling "faster, faster, faster momma"!




The Devil and his Reindeer :)
