Babysitten

Auch wenn ich vor zwei Jahren mein Nanny Dasein aufgegeben habe, so habe ich es doch total vermisst, Kinder um mich herum zu haben.
Dies hat sich endlich geandert, als meine liebe Freundin Steffi im Mai ihr erstes Baby bekommen hat. Ellie ist nicht nur das suesseste, sondern auch das einfachste Baby, auf das ich je aufgepasst habe...immer gut gelaunt und total pflegeleicht. Diesen Monat durfte ich zweimal auf sie aufpassen, waehrend Steffi und ihr Mann sich mal wieder Zeit fuer sich gegoennt haben, und ich habe die Zeit mit Ellie total genossen und hoffe, in Zukunft regelmaessig auf sie aufpassen zu koennen! Ist sie nicht supersuess?



Seit ein paar Monaten habe ich ausserdem noch einen anderen Babysitter Job, ich passe so einmal im Monat auf die Kinder von Katie's Arbeitskollegin auf, sie hat zwei Jungs, die 3 und 5 sind. Gestern morgen war ich auch wieder fuer ein paar Stunden dort und die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug. 
Nun kann man sich vielleicht fragen, warum ich dann nicht wieder Vollzeit mit Kindern arbeite, aber auch wenn ich super gerne babysitte, so liebe ich meinen Job nach wie vor und bin nun froh, dass ich beide Taetigkeiten irgendwie vereinen kann!:)
Naechstes Wochenende fliege ich dann schon nach Providence, Rhode Island, um dort meine alte Gastfamilie zu besuchen, wo ich als Au Pair fuer ein Jahr gelebt habe. Die Kinder waren damals 3 Monate, 1 Jahr und 2 Jahre alt und es wird bestimmt komisch, sie nach solanger Zeit wieder zu sehen, denn nun sind sie bereits 8, 9 und 10 Jahre alt! Ich freue mich aber riesig, meine zweite Familie und mein altes Zuhause wieder zu sehen und bin schon sehr gespannt wie es wird. Waehrend meines Au Pair Jahres damals habe ich die Staaten kennen und lieben gelernt und ich habe es wohl auch dieser Gastfamilie zu verdanken, dass ich nun heute wieder hier lebe!

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...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
