Here are a few aspects of our lives that are becoming our new normal.

Dinner Out…we started frequenting the same restaurant once a week and our favorite coffee house on Sunday afternoons to get to know the owners and staff. I also get a night off of cooking. A win-win!

 

“Renting” our Shopping Carts…we put a coin in the slot in order to use the cart. When you return it, you get your money back.

 

Eggs Fresh from the Farm…so fresh that we occasionally find feathers in the carton!

 

Heated Window Sills…most of our windows have heaters directly below them which makes for a nice and warm seat for our kitty. I can’t help but think the builder liked cats.

 

E’s New School Community…Last week, we went to a Dr. Seuss Literacy Night with games and activities galore. Our Thing 1 and Thing 2 had a blast!

 

Building European Monuments…here is S’s replica of the Eiffel Tower using his building blocks. Can’t wait for our little guys to see the real thing in person.

 

Hubby’s sister arrives tomorrow with our niece. We are super excited to spend a few days with them! We also get to host our dear friend, Andy, next Monday as he travels across Germany. THEN, my parents arrive next Wednesday!!!!! There is some SERIOUS excitement around here. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may be a bit absent for a little while. If so,   you know why. I’ll be sure to catch up at some point!

Tschüss! (bye in German)
