You know one... you know them all...

It's pretty amazing, first I had no contacts at all, and all of a sudden they come out of each corner :). You still know Silke and Alex we met two weeks ago? Yeah, Silke told me of the 'Krabbelgruppe' (crawling group) with only german moms and kids *BIG SMILE*. They meet twice a month. One day for breakfast (in the wintertime) and in the sommertime they meet at playgrounds. And one day a week for the 'Krabbelgruppe' where they do games and sing songs with the kids. So yesterday I met a bunch of them for breakfast and it was a blast. Funny thing, the youngest of the group was born 2 hrs after Zoe! Isn't that cool? Here a picture of Max and Zoe:Zoe felt so comfortable in Max's little area but Max couldn't go to sleep and was up all the time. Zoe again did sooo great. We have such a wonderful baby. Everything worked out great and also with work we got used to a routine and manage everything very good.
I'm sooo happy :). We live such a great life and enjoy ourselves. Zoe is becoming more and more fun each day... now she starts holding her head up more and more. Max does it already pretty good, but maybe it's because he's a man and they're normally stronger anyways. Max has two older sisters, 4 and 2 years old. And there were many other very nice ladies and many kids. I was a little bummed coming home and there was this big silence again in the house! Well... in two weekends our house is full again with our friends from Chicago *yeah* and then we're having a BBQ party... that'll be a blast :).
***Life is AWESOME ***

the summer is coming, yeah :)

A cute smile I still had on my IPhone:
and a picture for Andrea and family :)... took it a few days ago when it was colder outside. See it's still too big for her, so it was totally ok that the package took so long. And the chocolate is almost gone ;). Thank you so much for everything :).
Yesterday we had a great time at Franziska's with a total of four couples and two babies. Annika will send me her pics so I can blog them, here some I took. Of course I had to dress her up a little ;)
Zoe and Nicolas taking a nap:
Alright, now to today. It's so great outside. Zoe and I took a very nice walk. It's 20 Degrees Celcius and the sun is shining... next weekend we're going to get our patio ready. Maybe we're going to find some garden furniture so we can sit outside and enjoy the outside more.
I took a little break at the lake and just to sunk in the nice view and the quietness, the weather and the great life we're living :)
Back home I had to change her outfit into a summer one... It was too gorgeous outside so we had to match her clothes. When Dana brought the baby clothes mom used to dress the four of us in, we were both looking at each other with big question marks in our eyes and a smile on our face when we saw this little outfit!!! *hihi*... but I have to say, it is pretty cute:

Zoe plays

a new purse

Yeah, yesterday night I quickly went shopping once Frank was home. I got some new shows, tops and I also saw a wonderful purse!!! Oh Oh... I didn't buy it right away but I know if I won't buy it I'll bite myself in the behind because I'll look for it in a couple of months and won't find it again, like 3 years ago :(... this purse is actually like the one I was looking for 3 years ago. Well... I'm gonna check online, maybe I can get it a little cheaper online. Also I haven't bought a new purse last year and the last couple of years I've bought or gotten one nice purse a year... IT'S TIME :). And yes it would fit to a couple of my shoes as well ;) (for those who still remember my tick).
Today we're going over to Franziska's for a coffee session :)... YEAH... I have to bring my decaf coffee since Zoe is a little hyper if I drink normal coffee! Here some pics of our big girl... she's growing... oh man!!!

via Skype to Germany

The good thing about being stuck at home all day is to be able to talk to Germany easier. I've never had so much contact with my family in Germany than now. Now I can say I talk to ALL my sisters once a week at least :). Sita took a video shot from us while we were video chatting, how cute is that :)
Zoe will become a little Skype Girl as well :)

9 weeks young

Wow, it's been already 9 weeks!!! But for us it seems much longer having her with us :). She's so much fun and she's becoming more active now and bigger!!! On Monday we were at the doctor's office and she weight 11 lbs and 3 oz! Wow!!! That's why my back is getting tired quicker. From 7lbs 13 oz (3500 Gramm) to 11lbs 3 oz (5200 Gramm) in 8.5 weeks... can you imagine? Here is our little one:
