Our trip to Garmisch

We had the opportunity to go down to the southern tip of Germany at the beginning of the week. We had such a great time. We went to a restaurant that serves the world's largest cream puffs! I couldn't even eat half of it and that was without eating lunch. Eva was a total mess after getting her hands on it. On Wed, we went on a hike to this beautiful lake that was so crystal clear we could see all the way to the bottom and saw every fish in it. We rented a row boat and took the kids out. It was lots of fun.

Gabriel and Hans

Gabriel continues to grow... Hans came home to an instant family for 18 days of r and r leave. Check back in a few days for more pics. We are going to Garmisch next week so we'll have more pics to post. If you're wondering how Eva reacted to her Daddy after 7 months not seeing him, she was a little jealous the 1st day and irratible because she was taken out of her routine by a new presence who took away mommy's attention. By the third day she loved her daddy though and now will be hard when he leaves again.

Brother and sister love each other

I got bored this morning so I decided to bug my kids by taking pictures. I thought it was funny that they both looked at me when I went to the side of them.

Happy Easter!

We were invited over to our friends house tonight for a bbq and a little easter egg hunt. The weather was too bad to go outside, but we had a great time finding eggs thru-out the house. Eva had fun with all the kids and of course finding candy and chocolate. I didn't think she would understand what to do, but she caught on really quickly that we were "hunting" for eggs. She found a whole basket full.

The pictures you've all been asking for

I had to throw one in of Eva. That's the look she gets on her face when she sees her brother in the morning. She then says in a really high pitched voice, "baby", over and over again. It's really cute until she starts malling the pour child!

I don't know if this will work or not. I'm not that savy with the computer.

Merry Christmas

Eva and I had a great day today. Grandma made her traditional homemade pizza this year for dinner. It was wonderful as usual. Eva loved the orange and clementine that were in her stocking. She made the coolest sounds every time she saw a new toy to play with. Hans did a great job knowing what to get me too. I got a Zune and I'm still trying to figure out how it works. I love you. I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas.

Missing Hans

I just wanted to say that I miss Hans. The christmas season just isn't the same without your main squeeze. He's wonderful and I just want him to know that. I love you honey.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving Hans. This was after we were nice and full from a great meal. Eva was a little fussy, so she didn't really smile and I'm half asleep. Anyway, here's proof that i'm growing. Gabriel is starting to be crowded in there.

having fun outside

We took Eva outside to play in the leaves on Saturday. She had just woken up from a nap so she wasn't happy at first, but after a while, we couldn't get her to come back in the house. She had a blast in grandma and grandpa's big back yard.

more fun in Palmyra

On Monday, Eva and I went to Palmyra New York with our friends, the Culters. They are such wonderful people. The Cutler's had us stay with them Corning where they live. We were there from Sunday night until Thursday. We had such a good time with them. It was good to visit the church history sites again too. The picture of Eva in the leaves with Alec was in the sacred grove.

Lanchaster

Eva and I took a horse and buggy ride from an Amish guy in Lanchaster PA. We had a good time with all the horses and beautiful countryside.

Fun in Philly

Grandma and grandpa took us to Giggleberry Farm outside of Philadelphia. Eva had such a good time riding the carosel.

Halloween Pics

Eva had a wonderful time trick-or-treating. She also had lots of fun with her friends at our house. We had a really fun party with a few families over. The kids bobbed for apples and Eva tried to take everyone's apples for herself. She ate apples all night.
