A Trip to the Rhine

We took another trip to the Rhine with Tom and Janice this week.

We rented bikes and rode along the shore,
and found a creative way to keep Rana's head
from bobbing when she fell asleep in the bike seat!

We stopped to explore several little towns along the way

and had fun walking through the castles, too!

An Afternoon in the Park

We spent a few hours in the park this afternoon with Sophie.

Grandpa discovered a new trick with the stoller.

Good Times

We're having a good time with Annie's parents.
We've read some good books,

and taken walks through town,
stopping to shop at the Market Square.

Rana had a great time exploring the castle grounds.

And she had lots to say about it!

Coffee Tables and More

Rana loves to crawl around under coffee tables and other furniture.

This picture was taken in Najeeb's family's beautiful living
room, where Rana found lots of crawl spaces to explore!

Tomatoes!

Rana loves tomatoes. Because we forgot to put
them up on a higher shelf in the kitchen, she
grabbed one and ate it like it was an apple!!

Layover in Frankfurt

We met Annie's parents in the airport during their layover today.

It was good to see them!



We're looking forward to their real visit next week.

Rana's Dishes

While wandering through a shopping mall in Jeddah, a picture of Rana appeared on a television screen. A store owner called our attention to it and told us to go up to the security office because she could win a prize. What did she win? A 30-piece set of dishes! And, they made it all the way back to Germany with us on Friday with only a few scratches.

Aren't they pretty?!
