"Normal" life and Helen's send-off

First official visit to Steffi's and Dietmar's apartment
Delicious Mexican meal


Time for a chemistry lesson - it paid off,
Helen finished the year with an A



Zach's lucky "Rook" day - he was charmed


One of Steffi's cake creations
We've learned to be very willing guinea pigs


Picking up Daniel and Nadine
after their return from 3 weeks in the States


Dramatic transformation in front of the house


The sandbox is gone - but we're not sure whether we've replaced it
with a flower bed or a graveyard - that's what Becky calls it


A few flower boxes to spruce up the front


The raspberries in back have also been resurrected


We're sure all the neighbors are heaving a collective sigh of relief


Getting Helen ready for her big summer


The new sewing machine got a big-time workout -
and passed with flying colors




And one last "fix" at McDonalds before heading to the airport


Final good-byes at the passport control


And Zach couldn't wait to get back to his chemistry -
he even brought it along in the car
