Tummy Photos







19 Weeks


















20 Weeks







I hate taking these photos because I feel rediculous,..... but I know that Thomas doesn't get a chance to see my growing tummy everyday like we do, so I don't want him to miss out. Plus they are fun to look back on once the babies born. Anyway... here goes noth'in.

Baby

Yup, its for sure! We're having a girl! Tom guessed it from the beginning too. Our ultrasound showed that everything is going perfect. A relief to a stressed out mom. It is always great to hear when things are going well.

Ship me to Iraq!


Brennick crawled into this priority shipping box today. I sent Tom a note with this picture and put "Daddy! I asked mommy to ship me to you, but she said the mailman couldn't carry me all that way."  We miss Thomas very much, but know that he is where the Lord needs him right now. We are very very proud of our Lieutenant and are anxiously awaiting his safe return. 

Dachu Concentration Camp

So I've been home from Germany for over two weeks now and am just getting the opportunity to post more of our photos. These are of the Dachu Concentration Camp.
Front Entrance
This is a picture of when the US liberated this camp. The camp was built for 5,000 people, and when it was liberated there was 35,000. This is also the camp where they did the aeronautics & hypothermia experiments on the prisoners. So sad.  
This is a replica of what the beds looked like. When the US liberated the camp they took over and turned it into a refugee camp. Most of the camp had changed some because of that. The only building that was never touched by the US was the crematorium. 
Constantine wire around the base. This was taken near the entrance to the crematorium. 
Incinerator. There are three of these in this room. The room to the left is where the prisoners were asked to undress and "shower." It was a gas chamber. The bodies were then brought in here for cremation. The room to the right is where their belonging were taken to be disposed of. There is also a large beam overhead where I was standing. There were many hangings done here where the bodies could be easily moved to be cremated. 
This was a humbling tour to take....

Neuschwanstein Castle










In Love.....









Hi though......









Isn't it beautiful?                    









This is the throne room! The throne wasn't finished being built before the King died, so its not in here....












Handsome man!!

Thomas and I spent a day in the Bavarian Alps at the Neuschwanstein Castle. It's considered the "Disney Castle" because its the one that Disney used as inspiration for the Disney castle. It is the most famous of three royal palaces built for Louis II of Bavaria, also known as Mad Kind Ludwig, who bankrupted the country with his indulgent spending.  *We took a horse drawn carriage up the mountain and back down. It was beautiful. We were pelted by snow falling off the trees all the way up and back. haha.
