A visit from a friend

Our good friend Jim Auber was flying in to Frankfurt this morning on his way to Luxembourg, so he was able to check us out in our new digs. We're lucky to have so many friends who travel for business and can come see us. The entire Auber family is making a trip to Germany in June and Liederbach is one of the stops on their itinerary. They have already opened their home to us several times when David and the kids have visited Atlanta, so it'll be great to be able to return the favor.

Jim came with us to church, and at a pancake brunch after Mass, St. Nikolaus made a surprise visit. We also had a chance to chat with some of those people we see every Sunday but had never spoken to.

There also just happened to be a small neighborhood Christmas market this afternoon just a block away from our house. A Glühwein, hot wurst sandwiches and potato puffs helped warm us up on this chilly afternoon.

I don't think Jim saw a true representation of our life here. Two activities is one day! We're usually just hanging around the house being lazy on Sundays.
