One of my best friend's, Melissa, is a very talented photographer. I asked her if she would take some family photos for our Christmas card when Rob returned home to Germany from the States. We met her early on Sunday morning at Lichtenberg Castle near Thallichtenberg. It is about 30 minutes from our house in the Ramstein area, near Kusel. Lichtenberg Castle was built in 1200 and is the biggest castle ruin in Germany. Parking and entrance is free. Kids (and adults) have a lot of fun exploring the grounds and climbing the walls of this old castle. They have a small museum, an amazing restaurant and a little playground.
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. A couple weeks ago I saw a very emotional photo of a couple with shadows of children representing the children they lost from miscarriage. It really touched me. I knew I wanted to create one and here it is. This photo shows our family of five, including my stillborn daughter, Addilyn and the baby I miscarried last month.
Address of Lichtenberg Castle:
Burgstraße 12, 66871 Thallichtenberg
