Half a year later hunting soap bubbles is still hip.

Luis, Lily and I have been visiting Jens today. A trip to Jens always includes paying a visit on Luis favorite playground in Bochum. This time Luis had a huge surprise for us:
The Captain went down the huuuuuge slide on his own...
That's a "Just WOW!!!" for the proud mommy!

Lily has found the best place to rest.

The Japanese garden...
... my oasis of quiescence.

First "professional big boy haircut" for Luis (aka "not made by mommy") -
Big daddy got his hair cut thereafter... while the ladies of the family were waiting patiently.

Just one word:

YUMMY!!

Okay, that's not a real word... so let me start over:

Just one word:

We are family...

The Captain...
I can't believe I didn't realize "before" how HUGE that former "little one" is.
He's the best son and big brother we can imagine
- and he'll always be our little one, no matter what *g*

Luis & Lily

We forgot to tell Luis his little sister will be going to be able to make some noise -
after he found this out on his own *g* all was good.

UPDATE: The little princess is still ill but we were allowed to take her back home.
Please keep your fingers crossed for Lily...

It's 3:17 am in our part of the world...
we're off to the hospital's ER for the first time in Lily's short life...

Going home... finally

We've been celebrating my 34th birthday with family and friends @ our favorite Greek restaurant tonight...
Oh my... I'm stuffed... with a Hamster 2.0 and LOTS of food.

A branch...
...a special branch, belonging to the almond tree we got for Hamster 2.0 today.

The first afternoon nap since... can't remember. Seems like the Captain is tired as one can be.

The Marina Market takes place each 2nd Sunday / month during the summer in our direct neighborhood, the local Marina. Several marketeers sell their goods - beginning with fish, typical farmer's products and lots of handcrafted stuff. Luis, Jens and I visited the market today. We liked this colorful market stand best... and that's why I'm sharing it with you.
*love*

The Furry Diva will not be amused... see the red dot on the left site? That's her favorite outdoor-toy - "somehow" it came to rest upon that huge tree. See the yellow toy to the right? Looks like Jersey is not the only woofie who has had bad day. I'm wondering how this tree will look like in a few months... that might be a new Christmas decoration style...

"Giving Birth To A Child Shall Be The Hour Of Greatest Dignity For A Woman"

That's a wall painting inside our midwives' practice. I'm happy I'll have Jessica and Sabine around after I'll get home from hospital. Both are special ladies and they've done such a great job on Luis' aftercare - it's self-evident we want them for Hamster 2.0's aftercare, too.

"For daddy's to be"

This neat parking space sign is placed in front of the hospital Hamster 2.0 will be born in - the cutest "emergency" parking space I've ever seen (Ed. Note: The number "112" is the German equivalent to the U.S. "911").

Oh, by the way - please calm down now... we've been visiting the hospital as a matter of pre-birth routine... Hamster 2.0 will stay put for a few more days.

:-P

Let there be PEACE on earth...

The globe is a monument I pass daily - and whenever I pass the globe it reminds me that we all share one world and one future...

I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one. And I believe it could be someday it's going to come.
- Cat Stevens

Peace and Love to you and yours!

Our Furry Diva...
she'll celebrate her 6th birthday tomorrow.
She might be the most annoying dog ever, but she's ours, a part of our (weird) family -
and we love her to pieces - no matter what.

That stinks... oh my... does THAT stink!!! My "Y" is gone... not that I'll ever need to type a "Y".

Baking the promised Muffins... okay... trying to bake some. The new muffin-maker and I need to get some more practice to make a good team.

*LOL*

Ed. Note: Those Muffins looked a bit like atomic cupcakes... but they were de-li-cious. Too delicious - no leftovers, no photo... Sorry

:-P
