Normally I would be sitting down about now, sipping my coffee on this fine Saturday morning while my oldest child slept until 11 and my three youngest played quietly downstairs with legos - ahh... a few sweet moments of tranquility.
Alas, this morning I woke up to an alarm clock, and now, instead of telling you about our day in Aachen or the wonderful Turkish dancing I witnessed last night, instead of downloading beautiful photos from the last few days and giving you juicy details about how absolutely fabulous it's been here, I can only tell you to wait.
Photos and notes will be posted on Sunday. Photos of Aachen and of the Turkish wedding... photos of Sedan, France and Luxembourg. In about one hour, I will be heading out into the soppy wet grey of Germany towards the soppy colder wetter grey of France with my mom, *(without the kids) for a fabulously peaceful 3 day vacation.
Kirk is working towards sainthood (a title he's always hoped for - that and being a guest star on the Simpsons) and keeping the kids for the entire time. I hope to return on Sunday afternoon to a house with 4 children and a husband... we shall see.
So... I'm off... if you want a tease, click the links on France and Luxembourg... we'll be staying there.

Quotes to consider...
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
-Albert Einstein
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose."
-- Henry Ward Beecher
It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. -- Anthony Robbins
We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing. -- George Bernard Shaw
An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered. -- GK Chesterton
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman. -- Virginia Woolf
A friend is someone who will help you move. A real friend is someone who will help you move a body. -- anon
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory. -- Paul Fix
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone … The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audry Hepburn
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. -- Thomas Jefferson
