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!:)

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...

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 ...
