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!:)

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...

We took some family pictures this fall!

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 ...
