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!:)

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...
