First Week

Goofing around

My rental car :)... AMAZING

Visiting Jela's Working Space

My friend Ullu. Do you have these friends who you haven't seen for yrs and you meet and it is like you've seen each other yesterday? I have a couple of them and it's so great to always get reminded of these amazing friends :)

A trip to the Christmas Market in Bremen (where I was born)

Renovations of an old building. The 'outside' is being supported to stay intact.

My friends Irina and Thorsten who came all the way north (from Lohr am Main by Frankfurt) to see me *feeling loved*

Oma baked this little gingerbread house for the kids...

It didn't last long... everything they liked, they ate!

Trip to Hamburg to drive Ullu to the Airport and visit Bjoern incl. a trip to the Christmas Market in Hamburg. The kids' first Metro Ride

An Elevator going up the 'hill'

GERMANY

'I'm coming home... I'm coming home...' We've been 'HOME' for Frank so many times and now it's my turn to get to go 'HOME' for a bit and I have to say it feels AMAZING! 

Here a pic of the two munchkins in DTW in front of our big airplane.

The kids did amazing but didn't sleep much / at all.

The second flight AMS to BRE I had two little very tired munchkins and Henry was so out, I had to carry him all the way out and park him on the floor prepped onto our luggage and Zoe watched for me that his head wouldn't fall onto the ground! It worked out great though.

Arrival at home... placed the kids on the couch for a 'nap' and woke them up at 230PM

They actually missed a great German breakfast... YUM. My sister Sita came with us as well

My sleeping beauties

That night Henry woke up during the night but then they slept till 1230PM (I woke them up) the next morning... crazy

Walk with Oma... we walked to go shopping. The postal box :)

Going shopping via feet. Awesome feeling... I miss my stroller though! I have to admit. The first thing I missed since I'm here... ok after Frank of course :). He'll follow us in 2 weeks.

Our traffic lights... they actually turn 'green' :)... 

It's sooooo good to be home... can't wait for all the following days to enjoy to the fullest.

Crazy Week

We had a movie Afternoon but unfortunately the movie I rented was broken :(... so we had to improvise and take another movie. My neighbors Granddaughter is in town so the kids enjoyed the company of Chandler for a couple of times :).

Our Christmas Decoration at the Entrance of our subdivision

Celebrating Janos' 4th Birthday for a special party just him and us :). The kids loved 'tuschen'

We ended up in the Emergency Room in the afternoon to fix Henry's face!!! The poor guy ran into a dresser and had a bigger wound than wanted :(

After a cancellation we then did drive to Baltimore a day later and I quickly made our desert for the Thanksgiving Dinner we had on SAT at Jay's

The kids were so excited when I told them we're leaving for Baltimore... in the AM they packed the rest of their belongings into MY bag and said: "We're ready mom"... well it would help to get out of the PJ's before loading them up in the car *lol*...

The kids did GREAT. We not only drove to Baltimore this time but further south / east to Great Mills, MD to Frank's Brother Jay. We rocked it in 10hrs straight with few breaks. I mean we totally outdid ourselves there I think :). After this trip I'm so confident it will be a piece of candy to fly to Germany!

The Turkey Baby :).
Henry loved their dog Jenna... everytime she was in the same room Henry would not give her some peace! She had to be petted and taken care of... too cute!

My new glasses... bold look and I LOVE THEM :)
