Catching Up

Frankfurt and Zandvoort

It's been a long time since we have blogged, but it is time for an update. Martha and Zac have been here for a month now.

The first pictures are from a trip to Frankfurt, Germany. I had a buiness trip and we all went. Pictures outside the Romer which is in the main square in Frankfurt.
