We hit another milestone today as Stephan turned 18. There were 15 family and friends that helped him celebrate at Gerhardt's Bierstube, the local German restaurant.


His German teacher was able to alter her schedule so she could wait on us. She was the one who led his trip to Greece as well.


We even did the traditional German birthday cheer, which involves lifting him in the chair three times.


I suppose our next milestone will be at 21 since it's 7+ years for Sydney to hit 18.

Meanwhile Samuel has 2 weeks to go before he reaches 2 and is on the verge of being able to climb onto the kitchen counters. God help us!
