Christmastime 2007

Bad Salzschlirf--October 2007

5k for British Hearts

We all walked 5km through Woburn Abbey in support of the British Heart Foundation, and we met a few deer along the way.

Fuerte (again!)

Bournemouth with Imaan

Biking at Silverstone 2007

2 laps around the circuit--and the winner is...

Lewis 2007-2007

Our guinea pig Lewis passed away today. He had been healthy and seemed to be happy until this afternoon, when he was quite ill. John took him to the doctor, but Lewis didn't survive. We all loved Lewis and will miss him very much. We hope that his brother Joseph will stay healthy and won't be to lonely. We will all take good care of each other and remember how Lewis lived, so we can continue in his spirit: full of energy and with plenty of squeaks.

Nia is 7 Years Old

Happy Birthday Nia Schell! Nia got plenty of presents today, including her two guinea pigs Joseph and Lewis. Nia said she doesn't feel older.

Summer!

Nia had fun in the garden with Annabelle, just before turning 7 years old.

Venice

We took a ferry to Venice during our stay at Punto Sabbioni, Italy.

Easy Rider

They say once you learn, you never forget! Nia can ride a bike without stabilizers. Now we go biking together every sunny day.

Easter in Stowe

Nia and Mama were hunting for clues in Stowe Gardens on our annual Easter trail tradition.

Good Friday in London

We spent Good Friday in London with Benno and Oma. We watched a street performer in Camden Square, wandered through Picadilly Circus, ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, and rode on the London Eye.

Visitors

Benno and Oma are visiting us.

All set for Red Nose Day

How to use: Print this photo life-size, and stand next to Nia for a "group" photo.

Nia downs the blue slide

Nia, who said she would never slide down the blue slide at Mead Open Farm, did just that.
