Sicher ist sicher...


Letzte Woche haben wir im Haus die Schloesser austauschen lassen und eine Alarmanlage installieren lassen. Ich sag euch, dass war ganz schoen teuer, aber vermutlich sinnvoll fuer den "peace of mind", wie man hier sagt.
Generell fuehle ich mich in unserer Nachbarschaft und in den USA an sich, genauso sicher, wie ich mich in Deutschland gefuehlt habe. Aber Phoenix ist nunmal nicht Asperden mit seinen 2000 Einwohnern und hat eine ziemlich hohe Kriminalitaetsrate. 
Erst vor einigen Wochen bin ich mitten in der Nacht wach geworden, weil ein Polizei Hubschrauber ziemlich niedrig ueber unserem Haus herum gekreist ist, mit Suchscheinwerfern und das Schauspiel ging bestimmt eine Stunde so weiter. Was die gesucht haben, weiss ich nicht, und vielleicht ist das auch ganz gut so!:)
Und nun haben wir halt eine Alarmanlage, die hoffentlich nie zum Einsatz kommt. Einen Fehlalarm hatten wir jedoch bereits am zweiten Tag, da wir auf die Hunde meiner Managerin aufgepasst haben, und die waehrend unserer Abwesenheit den Alarm ausgeloest haben! Sobald die Alarmanlage los geht, werden wir von der Alarmfirma angerufen und nach einem Passwort gefragt, was denen dann bestaetigt, dass hier alles okay ist, bevor die die Polizei rausschicken wuerden. Also... Einbrecher nehmt euch in Acht!:)

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
