The Big Apple

I love New York. 
I fell in love with it when I was traveling to the US for the very first time in 2001, while staying at the Au Pair School. It's been eight years since my last trip to the Big City and I was begging to go back!

Ich liebe New York.

Ich verliebte mich in die Stadt, als ich 2001 zum allerersten Mal in die USA reiste, während ich in der Au Pair Schule war. Acht Jahre sind seit meiner letzten Reise nach New York vergangen und ich konnte es nicht erwarten, zurueck zu kehren. 
My 30th Birthday seemed like the perfect occasion for an escape into a different world, my dad and his girlfriend thought the same thing and traveled all the way from Germany to meet us there.
Mein 30. Geburtstag schien die perfekte Gelegenheit für eine Flucht in eine andere Welt zu sein, das dachten sich auch mein Vater und seine Freundin und reisten den ganzen Weg von Deutschland nach New York, um uns dort treffen.
We spent three days in the magical city, taking the hop on/ hop off bus tour, visiting the Statue of Liberty, eating hot dogs and pretzels on the street, strolling through Central Park and enjoying the view on top of Rockefeller Center.
Wir verbrachten drei Tage in der magischen Stadt, wo wir die Hop on / Hop off Bustour mitmachten, die Freiheitsstatur besuchten, Hot Dogs und Brezeln auf der Straße assen, durch Central Park spazierten und die Aussicht von der Spitze des Rockefeller Center genossen.
The skies were gray and it rained on and off, but we made the best out of it and I enjoyed every minute of it. 
Der Himmel war grau und es regnete, aber wir haben das Beste draus gemacht und ich habe jede Minute genossen!
For my Birthday dinner, we went to Serendipity, which is not only featured in my favorite movie of all times, but also had amazing food and we ended the night with their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate!

Zu meinem Geburtstag Dinner gings zu Serendipity, wo nicht nur mein Lieblingsfilm gedreht wurde, sondern es gab auch super leckeres Essen und wir endeten den Abend mit ihrem beruehmten Nachtisch, Frozen Hot Chocolate!
Central Park: so peaceful in this big and vibrant city!

Central Park: so friedlich in dieser großen und lebendigen Stadt!

I love New York, but it's always good to go home and I sure missed the sunshine!:)


Ich liebe New York, aber es ist immer wieder schoen nach Hause zu kommen und ich habe auf jeden Fall die Sonne vermisst!:)

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
