Welcome to Scott and Heather Overby's blog. We are on a great adventure living in Weimar Germany where Scott is teaching math at Thuringia International School. It has not always easy but God has been directing us all the way and we are able enjoy this journey. Here we share stories from our Odyssey.
We've been taking family outings to the park recently to enjoy these lovely fall days and get some much needed exercise. And Stanley enjoyed playing with his new basketball that Heather got at a garage sale.
We've also really enjoyed the company of friends including, but not limited to Keith and Rachel (Who stayed overnight before leaving for France the next morning. We stayed up until 1:30 in the morning. It was so fun. Thanks guys.), Bethany and her sweet family (including her precious newborn Madeline Joyce and Stanley's new friend sweet Benjamin), and our neighbor from Thailand Wila and her sweet baby Nadia.
And Stanley's newest accomplishment: pushing himself up on to his hands and knees. I wonder if he'll start crawling soon. Time to babyproof the house.
That's right, Stanley Mac is already 6 months old! We celebrated his 6 month birthday on Sunday October 12th. On his birthday daddy (Scott) competed in a fun run in which he was 3rd overall and first for his age division. Click here to see the results. Grandpa Steve also competed in the run, and was third in his age division. After the run, we had lunch with Aunt Rosie, Auntie Joyce, Nana and Papa Gene (Cinda and Gene). Auntie Joyce recently had her birthday, so we celebrated her's and Stanley's together. It was a fun day, and we can't believe how big Stanley is getting. He can sit up on his own (although he can't get there by himself). He is much more aware of his surroundings and always watches things carefully. His first two teeth "erupted" as well. The first one on Friday and the second on his 6 month birthday. This past week he has also begun to hold himself up on his hands and knees for short periods of time. Before we know it he'll be cruising around the house. We recently broke down and opened a youtube account. So here is our first video. It's actually a montage of his 6 months photos put to music. We hope you enjoy it.
Well, the sad day finally came. Our little baby is battling his first cold. That poor little nose makes mommy sad. We're all under the weather with this one and we are working our way out of this yuck. Happy posts on the way.
