September 14, 2004 - Adam's first day of school! Mom, dad, and Allyson all accompanied Adam to his first day of school. Rightfully equipped with his "Schultüte" and "Schulranzen", Adam excitedly participated in school introductions at the local church followed by a get-to-know-you session at the school in his new classroom. He is in the 1b group and his teacher's name is Frau Schabernack. He was so excited to start; we wish you all could have seen him. We have posted a few photos from the big day (see photos)!

September 12, 2004 - Launch of the 'Pobanz Family' web site. Bret has been waiting for this moment to finally have a family-oriented web site. We hope to turn this site into an area for our families to enjoy. Stay tuned for additions.

September 10, 2004 - We will be moving to Switzerland at the end of the year where Bret will head up the operations for the PUMA Retail AG, which is located on canton Solothurn. We have visited the area and are looking forward to the change and opportunity.

September 4, 2004 - We were involved in a car accident (see photos) on a German autobahn en route to Dresden and Seiffen (see photos). Everyone is doing fine. We ended up having a great time shopping the streets of Seiffen looking for that perfect wooden collectible. We then spent a day in Dresden. The city took us by surprise and was very charming.
