Baba at Work

Baba showed us around his office building the other day.

We were quite impressed!

As you can see, Rana kept her eye out for bulls 

(and bears) around the Stock Exchange!

Fun with Family and Friends

As we readjust to life back in Germany, 

we are grateful that we were able to spend so much time 

with family and friends in Michigan over the last few weeks.

A visit to Jeni and Lee's farm 

to play with Emma and Anna

We fed the chickens and picked strawberries, 

tomatoes, and cucumber to go with our lunch!

 Some good times with Andrea and Benjamin (and Nathan!)

And time to goof off with Maria, Brian, and Rebekah 

Rana's first softball experience--

and she even got to run the bases!

Home run!

And we can't forget a fun morning at the park...

...with our dear friend, Ruthie, who happened
to be in GR at the same time as us this year!

We miss you all already!!

Lighthouses in Michigan

In Grand Haven 

 In Ludington

Uncle Colin came back in town to join 

us as we walked 2 miles each way.

Rana experienced first hand how the lights worked,

and climbed 130 stairs to the top!

Beautiful!
