 I'm in Aachen, Germany to give a talk tomorrow.  The weather is a bit cool and rainy, but it's a cute city!

Halloween

The boys repeated their costumes from previous years -- James a pineapple and Matthew a Minecraft creeper. Halloween was rainy and windy this year, so James had his raincoat on underneath -- fortunately I think the color worked well for his costume!  They braved the weather and had fun. :)

And then on Friday they had a "sports and socializing" event at the middle school.  Mattie got a python painted on his face in honor of the programming language Python. :)
