This is now the second weekend without our boys and it seems for us a long time ago they left Germany. But we were informed by emails (from our sons and also from their new dads), by photos and sometimes by phone. The photo above shows Philip and Jeff in a lake (no, it's not San Francisco Bay, the photos from the trip to S.F. this weekend you find here ;-)

Both sons seem to be getting more comfortable each day with their new families. But I think both are looking forward to the first day of school. While Manuel has to wait till the beginning of September school starts on thursday for Philip.

Manuel's Mom explained him "Homecoming" last week which is unknown in Germany. I read in Wikipedia that this is a tradition in the United States. Manuel thought that this event from the cross country group is soon, but it is in November.(ob)
