The new students are here! This past Saturday the students for Fall Semester 2017 arrived. Per usual, the "Kartause Kids" put on their best trachten (dirndl and lederhosen) and greeted the new arrivals! On Sunday, we all went on the excursion to Melk and Durnstein.
It feels a bit like we're repeating our lives from two years ago -- except now we have a 4 year old in addition to a 2 year old and baby, and our niece Katie is here this semester instead of our nephew Timmy :)
Here's the post from this same weekend
two years ago, 2015 and
last year, 2016. Clearly, Ellie has greatly improved her Austrian wardrobe, Francis' cheeks were way BIGGER than Isaac's, and Ellie's posing has gotten much better on the playground in Durnstein.

We are excited for another semester and all God has in store!
