Enjoying the small things...

Dezember ist fuer mich die schoenste Zeit des Jahres, Weihnachtsmusik, Lichter, Dekorationen and Zeit mit Familie und Freunden zu verbringen.
Ich geniesse die kleinen Dinge...

December is truly my favorite time of the year, Christmas music, lights, decorations and spending time with family and friends. 
Enjoying the small things...

...wie selbstgemachte Adventskalendar!
Ich fange eine neue "alte" deutsche Tradition hier in den USA an und habe fuer Katie diese 24 Weihnachtseimerchen gemacht. Ich bin vermutlich aufgeregter als sie, wenn sie jeden Tag bis Weihnachten ein Geschenk aufmachen darf!:) 

 ...like homemade Advent Calendars! 
Starting a new "old" german traditions here in the US and enjoyed making these 24 christmas buckets for Katie. I'm probably more excited than her when she is allowed to open one present every day until Christmas Day!:)


Wir haben auch einen von ihren Grosseltern bekommen, ich liebe es! Es ist schon Jahre her, seitdem ich einen hatte!

We also got one from her grandparents, love it! It's been years since I had one!

Letzte Woche hab ich beschlossen, ein wenig kreativ zu sein und habe diese Buchstaben fuer meine Kueche gemacht, Inspiration dafuer war die Kueche von Courtney Cox in der Serie "Cougar Town".

I decided to get crafty last week and made these letters for my kitchen, inspired by Courtney Cox's kitchen in the TV Show "Cougar Town".

Und fragt mich erst gar nicht, wie sehr ich unseren neuen Whirlpool geniesse...HIMMLISCH!
Wir haben ihn zwar bereits seit Mai, aber es ist schwer ihn zu nutzen, wenn es draussen 45 Grad Celcius sind...!:)
Hier koennt ihr mich nach einem langen, harten Tag auf der Arbeit finden...oder auch nach einem leichten!

And don't even get me started on how much I enjoy our new hottub these days...HEAVEN!
Okay, we've had it since May, but there is no way to get any use out of it when it's 115 degreens outside...!:) 
This is where you find me these days, after a long, hard day at work...or maybe even after an easy one! 


Ich geniesse...
Spieleabend mit ein paar von meinen deutschen Maedels...es war ein lustiger Abend! Danke fuer die Einladung Alex!

Enjoying...
Game Night with some of my german girls...fun times! Thanks for hosting Alex!


Ich liebe dieses Foto! Cosie geniesst ganz offensichtlich seine neuen Rentier Ohren, die ich ihm aufgezwungen habe (schaut euch sein verruecktes Auge an!!!) und Zuma lacht sich ueber die Tatsache kaputt, dass er keine bekommen hat!

Love this picture! Cosie, clearly enjoying his new reindeer ears that I forced on him (look at his crazy eye!!!) and Zuma cracking about the fact that he doesn't have any! 

Und habe ich euch bereits meinen Weihnachtsstrumpf gezeigt? Fast ein Schlafsack, aber hey, was immer  funktioniert, oder? Nun muss ich nur noch jemanden finden, der ihn fuer mich fuellt...hmmm...

And did I show you my stocking yet? More like a sleeping bag...but hey, whatever works, right?;) Now I just need to find someone, who will fill it for me...hmmm...
Ich wuensche euch eine frohe Vorweihnachtszeit!

Happy Holidays!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
