Leaving on a Jetplane

And we're off...
If you need to reach us...you can't, because we'll be chillin' right here...


Wir sind dann mal weg...
Falls ihr uns erreichen muesst...vergesst es, denn wir werden hier chillen...


...without any phone or internet connection, so I'll be going cold turkey for 17 days without my beloved blogs. I'm sure I can handle it...haha! Will I survive this long without couponing? ...totally different story! Just kidding...or am I??? :)
And yes, you read correctly, we'll be gone for 17(!!!) days, taking our whole years worth of vacation time and then some, to cruise through Turkey, Israel and Greece!
Katie has been planning this vacation for the last four years and I hope it'll be everything she hoped and wished for. 

I know a lot of people would never post that they're going on vacation, in fear that potential robbers will read this and break into their house, so I thought, that I'll let you in on a few secrets, just in case...
  • Our dogs will still be here, so make sure you bring them some treats. They like Beggin Strips. They will make a lot of noise, but usually don't bite people, especially when they bring treats. No guarantees though! I wish I could say that they're good guard dogs, but who am I kidding...they're total pushovers.
  • Don't freak out when you realize that there are still people in the house. Someone had to watch the dogs after all!
  • If you're looking for any valuables, keep looking and make sure you let me know if you find anything that's worth something. Unfortunately I had to take my most prized possession (my camera) with me to document all of the fun we're going to have. There might be a jar with change somewhere in the house, but that's about it. And while you're at it, please also take the ugly tree picture in the upstairs hallway with you...I hate that thing!
  • If you could sweep and mop and do some dishes after you're done going through our stuff in the hopes of finding anything valuable (Spoiler Alert: You won't), that would be great. I really don't want to do that when I get back. 
Okay thanks!

See ya later!


...ohne Telefon oder Internet Verbindung, also gehe ich auf den kalten Entzug, 17 Tage ohne meine geliebten Blogs. Ich bin mir sicher, ich werds ueberleben ... haha! Aber werde ich so lange ohne Couponing ueberleben? ... ganz andere Geschichte! Nur ein Scherz ... oder vielleicht auch nicht??? :)
Und ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen, wir sind für 17 (!!!) Tage weg, wir haben unseren kompletten Jahresurlaub genommen und dann noch ein paar Tage drauf und werden eine Kreuzfahrt durch die Türkei, Israel und Griechenland machen!
Katie hat diese Reise seit vier Jahren geplant, und ich hoffe, es wird alles das fuer sie sein, was sie sich erhofft und gewünscht hat.


Ich kenne eine Menge Leute, die nie ins Internet stellen wuerden, dass sie in den Urlaub fahren, in der Angst, dass potenzielle Diebe das lesen werden und ins Haus einbrechen, also dachte ich, dass ich euch in ein paar Geheimnisse einweihen werden, nur für den Fall der Faelle ...




  • Unsere Hunde bleiben zuhause, also denkt dran ihnen ein paar Leckerlis mitzubringen. Sie moegen Beggin Strips. Sie werden zwar wie verrueckt bellen, aber in der Regel beissen sie keine Menschen, die ihnen Leckerlis mitbringen. Aber ich gebe keine Garantie! Ich wuenschte, ich koennte sagen, dass sie gute Wachhunde sind,aber wem mache ich hier was vor...sie sind die totalen Weicheier.
  • Seid nicht ueberrascht, wenn hier noch Leute im Haus sind. Jemand musste ja schliesslich auf die Hunde aufpassen!
  • Wenn ihr nach Wertgegenstaenden sucht, dann mal viel Spass beim suchen und denkt daran, mir Bescheid zu sagen, falls ihr irgendetwas finden solltet, was noch etwas wert ist. Leider musste ich meinen wertvollsten Besitz (meine Kamera) mitnehmen, um all den Spass, den wir haben werden, zu dokumentieren. Es koennte irgendwo ein Glas mit Kleingeld im Haus sein, aber das war es dann auch schon. Und wenn ihr schon dabei seid, bitte nehmt auch das haessliche Baum Bild oben im Flur mit ... Ich hasse das Teil!
  • Wenn ihr dann auch noch fegen und wischen und den Abwasch erledigen koenntet, nachdem ihr fertig seid durch unsere Sachen zu wuehlen, in der Hoffnung, etwas wertvolles zu finden (ich will ja kein Spielverderber sein, aber ich kann euch jetzt schon sagen: das werdet ihr nicht), darueber wuerde ich mich sehr freuen. Ich habe naemlich wirklich keine Lust, das zu tun, wenn ich zurueckkomme.
Ok danke!
Und tschuess!

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...

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...

We took some family pictures this fall!
