My Once Upon a Time...

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'...

We've had some hot days already, and Finn loved getting sprayed with the hose on the trampoline. Perfect dentist check ups for both boys! We usually go out to eat once a week, and the following pictures sum up how crazy these nights usually look. I should really remember to not let him drink lemonade at dinner, because he immediately gets a sugar high and goes nuts! He said "take my picture Mama!" My handsome boy. Cuddles and reading in bed. We went to the zoo one afternoon and they were more interested in the splash pad and cave than looking at the animals, but we had a great day. I loved our daily walks before it got it too hot. These kind of messages from Fox's teacher make me so proud. Finn has been into collecting ducks for the past few months and my grandma made these for him. He cracks me up. He wrote a sign "balls for sale, look!" and set up shop. Another crazy day at work, this is me in my chemotherapy get up. Favorite time of day, I love that they ...
