Don't forget to move your bookmarks to the above blog! We are moving!!! Follow us there....

In honor of our soon to be new home-land, Andrew received a build your own Vincent Van Gogh house for Christmas. Jim picked it up on his interview trip through Amsterdam in November.

After a great Christmas dinner at the Ford's house this afternoon, the Rhomberg boys sat down and re-constructed a piece of history. I'd say it turned out quite well. Not that I'd want to live in it. A bit too cramped for my style, but very stylish nonetheless.

We are on the move

Some of you may have heard.
Others of you may have guessed from the cryptic photo blog from the beginning of December.
Jim has accepted a job in the Netherlands starting late in January so we are on the move once again.

We are no longer going to be the family down under, but rather a better way to describe us would be a globe trotting family... so in light of that news, we are moving to a new address and a new blog space... you can find us at:

So, bookmark that site and I'll try to keep up with our movings and musings as we go from the land of Oz to the of Windmills and Tulips.

Merry Christmas

Haven't posted much lately, but lots has been going on. So, we'll post some photos of holiday cheer here.

Setting Up the Christmas Tree

Where in the world are the Rhombergs

All of us are awake on Sunday December 5th. Two of us just woke up -- two of us are just going to bed.

Two of us are still enjoying warm-ish weather, if not humid weather.

Two of us are not exactly enjoying weather that we haven't seen since we moved away from Chicago five Christmases ago. (One of us is still thrilled by the sight of huge fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky) Two of us are not thrilled when the wind whips that snow into our faces and we can't see where we are.

Two of us are spending a week with the grandparents -- having a great time.

Two of us are spending a week together -- having a great time (we hope!)

Two of us are hoping we packed enough warm clothes to keep from freezing articles of our body off from the earliest snows of the season in this region.

So, where are we two and why are we here...

(No posting comments grandparents, Sam, Debbie and P&K)

One sunny day a farmer was farming his crops. When he went back into his house he heard some rumbling noises. He looked out the window, but no one was there.

He was walking outside when he saw a person cutting down his crops. The farmer yelled “STOP!” and chased him all around. He looked back at his field and there was nothing there.

The next morning the farmer went outside with lots of seeds in his hands. He put the seeds in the ground and hoped they would grow.

About a month later the crops were fully grown.
