A Trip to Paradise...

There are no words. No words that could ever describe the magical place I was blessed to spend a three day weekend at. It was truly magical.

Katie's Grandparents House right on the beach in Mexico, with nothing to do but enjoy the great weather, the beautiful beach, good food, play games and JUST RELAX!

I sat for hours on the patio, simply staring in the horizon and listening to the crashing waves and it only takes a deep breath to feel peaceful, content and HAPPY!

Thinking about how lucky I am to be part of this family, getting to experience amazing places and how in the world I could possibly convince my boss to relocate my office right to this patio??? Still trying to figure out that part...:)

But for now, enough of the words and see for yourself...

Es gibt keine Worte. Keine Worte, die jemals den magischen Ort beschreiben koennen, wo ich ein Drei-Tage-Wochenende verbringen durfte. Es war wirklich magisch.

Das Haus von Katie's Grosseltern direkt am Strand in Mexico, mit nichts anderem zu tun als das schoene Wetter, den schoenen Strand und das gute Essen zu geniessen. Gesellschaftsspiele zu spielen und einfach NUR ENTSPANNEN!

Ich sass fuer Stunden auf der Terrasse, starrte in den Horizont and hoerte den rauschenden Wellen zu. Du braucht nur einen tiefen Atemzug zu nehmen, um dich entspannt, zufrieden und GLUECKLICH zu fuehlen!

Ich dachte darueber nach, wie gluecklich ich mich schaetzen kann, ein Teil dieser Familie zu sein und die Moeglichkeit zu haben die wunderschoensten Plaetze zu sehen. Ich dachte ausserdem darueber nach, wie in der Welt ich meine Chefin dazu bringen koennte, mein Buero genau hier auf diese Terrasse zu verlegen...darueber bin ich immer noch am gruebeln!:)

Aber fuer nun, genug der Worte und seht selbst...

We took a little trip down the road to the Mayan Palace, a beautiful hotel where we got to enjoy lunch on the beach.

Wir unternahmen einen kleinen Trip die Strasse hinunter zum Mayan Palace, ein wunderschoenes Hotel wo wir ein Mittagessen am Strand geniessen konnten.

And this is how we got there...

It was so much fun driving up and down the sand dunes!

Und so sind wir dorthin gekommem...

Es machte soviel Spass die Sand Duenen hoch und runter zu duesen!

Katie's grandma not only spoiled us by making us breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also with Cosmopolitans at sunset.

Katie's Oma verwoehnte uns nicht nur, indem sie uns Fruehstueck, Mittagessen und Abendessen kochte, sondern ausserdem Cosmopolitans bei Sonnenuntergang servierte.

I'm telling ya...MAGIC!

There are no words.

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'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
