    Ich bin auch Deutsch.

    I really do not speak much German, worked for Bosch for a few years and spent some time over there in the late 80's, loved it. My last name is actually the same as a small town in southern Germany, I know my Grandparents came from Germany but not sure from where.

    I have two son's 29 and 16, a wonderful wife married 34 years in Oct. and we live in Michigan, USA. Other then a few VBS I didn't attend church growing up but at age 24 by the grace of God I put my faith in a revelation of what the Father had done through His Son. I still attend our local church despite disagreeing with the AOG doctrine (as a light to others). I'm now 53 years old and the Father has proven Himself to me over and over and He is worthy of ALL praise.

    Blessings to all my brothers and sisters here – Wm

    I confess to not seeing this discussion before.

    I am 44 years old and am married to a lovely Colombian lady and we have a son who is 2 and a half years old.

    We live in New Zealand and we have lived in Colombia. Quite extreme because Colombia is one of the most dangerous countries on earth and New Zealand is probably the safest or one of them. So going from one to the other is about as extreme as it gets.

    My wife is a lawyer and I am a Webmaster and have a real day time job, but also have a collection of websites that I am trying to make enough money to work full time on as I would prefer to work from home and have more time (including more time here).

    I love travel and photography and have a keen interest in most sciences and also the Internet.

    I like sport but don't participate much these days, but do confess to whipping a skateboard out the back of my car sometimes and carving up a ramp at night when all the kids are at home.

    Thanks Irene. Yes two year olds are really wonderful. They are just so cute and it is great watching someone grow up and experience things for the first time. You kind of go through everything yourself with them.

    Here are some pics of New Zealand.

    Parts of NZ look a lot like Seattle, WA. Your tower also looks like our Space Needle. Neat! Although we do not have deserts and tropical elements.

    Thanks for sharing about you and your family, t8. Let's see, you have a two year old…..time to add a sibling, huh? :;):
    Love,

    Yeah that tower is suppose to be the highest in the southern hemisphere. It also has a bungee jump from it.

    Yes another sibling would be great.

    I went to Vancouver and the scenery looked very much like the South Island in New Zealand. I suppose that Seattle and Oregon would be similar. Except the vegetation in New Zealand is mostly temperate rain forest and ancient Beech forest. We have pine trees, but they are imported and are classed as a crop for harvesting wood.

    In New Zealand there are about 30 micro-climates. A lot of movies get made here because the scenery is so diverse.

    e.g., I live in a lush wet and often windy city, but half an hour over a mountain and the region is warmer and drier with a burgeoning wine industry.

    Nice.

    I actually went to Fraser Island and I loved it. Especially Lake McKenzie. It was just unreal.

    Here are some pics from that trip.

    My hide-out is the bathroom! It's the only room in the house that I can lock the door and have some privacy from the kids.
