This is our newest picture of our house in Kenya. We hope to move by April 08. Isn't it exciting?

But before we can enjoy the warm sun of Africa we will live through the cold winter in the Black Forest. But it is not at all bad. My sisters cookies are the best and we enjoy playing our recorders or listen to our nephews playing the piano. To be home for Christmas is really special.

Last week we visited Benjamin, Sue and Jonas. Our nephew and his family. To see the kids is a special blessings.

Gil started yesterday with his therapy and makes good progress in his recovery.

We love to hear from you. Have a blessed Advent Season,

Gil & Maria
