So, here I am back to the blogging world. YEAH! We had a wonderful 2 week Christmas vacation in California that I will tell you all about, but first things first.
I had planned on putting this blog up on the actual New Years Day, but Steve has been tinkering with the computers and put them out of commission our first couple of days back at home.
We had a wonderful New Years and it was very nice to be back in Germany. They really know how to light up the sky to bring in the Neue Jahr! We flew home from California on the 30th of Dec for a total of only 11 hours on the plane. Not bad considering it takes 14 to go there. Everything went smoothly and it is getting to be an easy trip, it just makes for a long day. :)
So we got home at 11am and going against the advice we give to visitors, we came home and slept for 6 hours. (you are only suppose to take a 3 hour nap to get over jet lag quicker) So, at 5pm we got up and cleaned up the house a little so we could have a New Years Party. We had a family from church, and a family from Steve's work come over at about 7. They both brought lots of goodies to snack on, and we had a nice fire going and as soon as we got the kids situated we started a game of SETTLER'S. We started the game about 9pm and since there were 3 people learning, the game took us a good 2.5 hours until Steve finally won. But that put us right up to party time so it worked out great.
We headed outside at about 11:50pm. The weather here is beautiful and we did not expect to be shooting fireworks off with temps in the mid 40's. It was very nice. We had tons of fireworks and when you add that to all the neighbors fireworks for miles around it was quite a show. We love New Years here.
And we are especially excited about this New Year, because we will be adding another Hughes to our family. I am only about 2 months pregnant, but we thought now would be a good time to announce it. The baby is due around August 13th and we are very excited to have another baby!
We hope all of you have a wonderful and prosperous New Year. It was so nice to see so many friends and family this past couple of weeks. Our lives our richly blessed from knowing you all.

We were the only ones setting off fire works in our neighborhood, it made me miss Germany all over again. It was fun to see the Wagners.
Glad you all had a fun time in CA.
