When It Rains, It Pours

     That saying has been 100% true for us over the last couple weeks. As you all know from my last post, Aaron got into a Motorcycle accident 2 Sunday's ago. Well after the surgeon in Aviano decided their equipment was not going to be fixed soon enough, he decided to send Aaron to Germany for surgery. We spent last Wednesday, 5/6, preparing for our long trip to Germany. We dropped the dogs off with our friends, packed our bags, and went to sleep early because we knew Thursday was going to be a looooooong day. 

     On Thursday morning, we woke up extra early and waited for the bus to pick us up. It was a 13 hour bus ride to Germany!!!! Connor did pretty good for being cooped up in a bus for such a long time.

Motorcycle Accident

     So as a lot of you know, we have had a pretty stressful couple days. Before I get to the bad, let me share our sweet family pictures we took on Saturday in front of the beautiful poppies. I have been wanting to take pictures in front of them since we moved here, and since they bloom this time of year it was the perfect time.      

     What I really wanted was for us to stand in the middle of a big poppy field, but I haven't been able to find one. When Aaron came across a big group of them lining the train tracks near our house, I knew we could make it work. So on Saturday, we met our friend near them and walked through really tall weeds/grass/pokey stuff to get to the tracks. Our friend was able to get some really great pictures after only being there for about 15 minutes. I was so nervous that a train was going to come while we were on the tracks, and sure enough it did! Oh My Gosh! I was terrified, and the only one that was scared might I add. It was a double train track and the train was coming on the one further away from us. My instinct was to grab Connor and jump in the bushes, but my friend kept me from jumping. I'm glad she did because it would have hurt. After that scary situation, I was done! I hope you enjoy our pictures as much as I do :)

One of my favorites!
