Uncle Mark's visit

Paul's brother, Mark, made a special trip out to see the newest additions to the Niedergang 'gang'. He was a great help and even spent a night on the couch making midnight runs to the nursery so that Paul and Annie could get a full night's sleep.


Zadie thought that he was cool!

The quilts our neighbors made for us

We live on a really great street. Whenever someone is pregnant, Helen, our street 'mom', always organizes the neighbors to make a handmade quilt. Each neighbor makes a square and Helen sews them all together. In the last 4 years our little street has gone from 1 child to 14...we've all been very busy making quilts!

The schoolboard just closed our wonderful and small neighborhood school because apparently there aren't enough kids....no one has thought to look at the recent births.
