Lara and Liliana having fun

Amazing how much fun Lara and Liliana have with each other. Here is a little video...

Visiting Papa at work

A few weeks ago we went to visit Thomas at work. The kids went 'on rounds' with Papa. That is around and around the hallways sitting on the wheeled cart. As it neared time to go, Thomas took Lara off the cart. Lara angrily brushed Papa away and climbed back on the cart. Needless to say, Thomas took them on one more round ; )

Konrad likes bikes...

Konrad is really into bikes. He loves to ride his walking/running bike and also likes to ride on Papa's bike (with or without a child seat). He also started to become more aware and decisive about getting his picture taken. When he doesn't want it taken he will tell you and when he does he will also tell you. He picks his own pose and who he wants in the picture..The last three pictures of him are of his own deciding ; )

Pictures from our visit to the Heidelberg Castle with Amy in Sept.

Here are two pictures I wanted to add from our visit to the castle when Amy was here in September. One is Liliana carrying Konrad's ever so talented doll (the doll can chase and jump on pigeons, jump down stairs, spend the night in the cold garage in the doll stroller and loves to be carried anywhere by anyone). The doll is about half as big as Liliana and use to be a collectors doll from Grandma. Thanks to Grandma not having enough time to try and resell the doll on ebay it has been able to feel very loved and move to Germany.

The picture of Konrad and I gives a greet view of Heidelberg from the castle.

Anyone want to come and visit!?

A walk with Amy

Just had a few minutes to upload a few pictures and even a video. Things are quite busy these days and I think often how I want to share pictures and stories with friends and family, but it is hard to find the time...So here are a few pictures with very little description but I think they speak for themselves ; ) Konrad playing the Harmonica, Liliana in Purple and Lara eating the few drops of ice cream Konrad left in his bowl ;)

Photos are all thanks to Amy Carlson who is visiting us from the US!!!

A big thanks to Auntie Joyce who will see how loved the dog that she gave Konrad is...The Lewis and Clark model Dog will go on exploring here in Germany along with Konrad ; )

Liliana's first steps

Liliana Belle took her first steps on Sunday, 12 July. I wanted to be sure and post it in the blog so all would know ( and so I wouldn't forget the date!).

WE caught a few on video ;)

Cleaning off the shelves....

Everything is times two ;)
