March 2021

Mattie turns 1.  Crazy that when she was born was right when Covid started 

and everything locked down.  We couldn't even come to visit.  

She is such a cutie and crawls on us when Ashley, Jayne and I exercise together.  

CHURCH

Ryan had to take pictures to show distancing and who was sitting near whom.  

The azalea bushes were beautiful this year. 

Spring time in Bville is so pretty.

There was this cool marble run up near the Rhine river.

You buy a big wooden marble for 1 euro and then they 

made a run all the way down the hill.  And there were these

hamster wheels along the way. We brought a picnic

and had a great time with the Harshbargers.

There is a hike up near Bingen with tons of carved little 

funny faces in the trees.  It is like a truly enchanted forrest.

We went with the Harshbargers and ran into some of their friends 

from church so we all hiked together to the Rhine river and to see

the Rheinstein Castle.  The hike was a little longer than we thought it would be

 and the kids wanted it to be over and some couldn't walk another step until

Ma we got to the stream and then they could run and play.
