Roscoe's Oktoberfest Visit

Chriss, Terry, Missy, Steve, Louie, Charlotte & Rachel

Steve's cousin Terry and her family also live in Germany and for years we've been saying they should visit for Oktoberfest. Terry and I were determined to have a bier together. This year they finally made it happen.

The first day they were here we went to our favorite Monastery for the afternoon. Charlotte and Rachel entertained us with their phone creations that were prompted by a card game - Game of Phones.

The next day was all about Oktoberfest. Rachel's friend Katie came with us and the four kids had a terrific time together.

The bierwagons make for perfect photo ops!

Cute Girls!

And Terry and I did get to have that bier! It was so wonderful to have them here for a visit!

Ohio State vs USMA

Ohio State played West Point today. I was most assuredly a woman divided. I always want the Buckeyes to win, but a win for West Point would be amazing for Dominic and his classmates. Since we are making so many trips to the US this year the game wasn't in the cards or for me or West Point but Stefanie and AJ represented. They took their roommates Evan and Morgan too.

Even Evan & AJ look small in this chair!

They also got to meet up with my cousin Scott and his wife Joanie, as well as their friends and our friends Terry and Paul. Scott and Paul were West Point classmates and Scott introduced us to Paul and Terry when we moved to Germany. Another great small world connection!

Happy 19th Birthday Stefanie!!

Happy, HAPPY 19th Birthday Stefanie! We are so lucky to have you in our lives! This girl is going to take the world by storm. She is already finding her way at Bowling Green. She had a fabulous time celebrating her birthday with AJ and her roommates!

AJ runs a Half-Marathon!

AJ

AJ ran his first half marathon today. It was the Boy Scout 13.1 in Bowling Green. Running a half marathon is no joke and requires real training and effort. We are so impressed that he trained and finished so strong!

Stefanie and her roommate Haily get a shoutout too, they got up super early to drive AJ to the start and to cheer him on throughout the race.

AJ & Stefanie at the finish!
