Our Trip To Las Vegas & California - November 2008

We took a trip to California - to attend Brett's Missionary Farewell & to help gg and gp Ollech
move. We had a great time.......The bonus was that we got to see Cairen & Seth and their girl
and Ricky's Family. We sure wish that everyone lived closer.........but it was a treat to see
them all! The above is Meika being creative with the playdough.

Sienna is mommy's little helper.

Ricky's family in Visalia is doing well.....we were so surprised to see how much
Reagan has grown since last summer.

Helmut is working hard to help with the BIG MOVE!

Does this house look familar? Could be because this is where Helmut's mother

and step-father lived from abt 1968 to 1986. And now they are going back to

live on the farm by Ben & Shirley. Kind of like going home..........

This is the last of our Pictures from Europe!

It was so great to see Halina in Poland again. Here is a picture of our tranlator and transportation, Lukasz and Halina looking at the computer and discussing family history at Halina's house.

This is another picture taken at Halina's.

We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our time in the Berlin area! Once again

our dear friends, the Winklers did so much to help us enjoy our time there. We were

sorry that we didn't get to see Marie........maybe next time.

Our Family in Haunkenzell

This is Johann Weinzierl and his family. We met them in 2004 and enjoyed visiting with them again in 2006 and this year. Johann is a first cousin to grandma Ollech. Each time we go he and his family show a new and special family spot of interest!

German Bakeries

One of our favorite parts of going to Germany is eating goodies from the bakeries. They are

everywhere and so good! On my birthday I was treated to a beautiful cake made by

Susanna and Rainer's handsome son, Peter.

We had to take a picture of the beautiful cakes at the bakery where

Peter is training..........tempting, huh?

Here is Peter at the bakery. Doesn't he look like a pro?!
