Summer party for Miss Mia


 Not the easiest thing to get all hands up together... at least successively, haha!


This is what the men were doing in the evening with the sons while we ladies were having a chat...


Fine day,

Mama

In the mountains

Spending a day in a hut in the mountains with very old friends... and escaping the heat down in the city. Such a relief!


Yes... this water out of the home fountain was a v e r y, v e r y cold one... brrrrr! Anyway... Miss Lina was taking a short bath, haha!


Daddy went for a short walk into the wood to give the kids some special entertainment... super!


Love,

Mama

One month... 


... left and my babygirl is not ONE and more. For me ONE is so very conntected with little and new, dependent and babyish. But when this little number ONE is gone I get the feeling of having a real toddler at once.


When I think about all the progresses you already made, sweet Lina, and all the things you have learnt within such a short time I should not have the feeling that a lot is going to change. You are so very much behaving and acting like a big girl already I hardly come along.


For about two months now you are talking... I mean really! You are speaking single words since you turned one but the last few weeks you are talking like crazy. Every word pronounced to very clearly and even putting them together in sentences! This thrills me!

I can have conversations with my baby... pretty weird, I confess!


I think I will publish an update about your actual development and status quo. There is only little time left for me in my everyday life but I´m sure this work will be worth it.


Lina, you are such a precious gift, my sunshine, my g i r l! I love you beyond words!

 ... and by the way... you are one lucky girl to have the best brother in the world, 
sweet Max!


My babies, I love you

Some portraits of my beauties as they were running around naked all day long, ha!

Love you,

In the mountains


 ... with daddy while mama was visiting a lovely friend. It was such a relaxing time... at least for me... and it is still very weird for me being out without my babies. But as there were coming up news again I really start to let them loose more and more.

... and by the way... it´s the third day in a row my little Miss L. is fine to go to bed without nursing and with her daddy in the evening.... 

don´t ask how crazy for boobs this poor girl of mine is in the morning when she is running into our room, haha! Not moving away for an eternity... awwww!

Bonsai and Donkey park

First we decided to visit the Japanese Bonsai park but as this is not the most interesting thing to see and do for little toddlers we had to offer a special afterwards.


So the trees in bowls were... more or less... for mama and papa. We were overwhelmed by the beauty and exceptionality of the botany but fortunately Max and Lina enjoyed to be allowed to stroll through the garden on their own. Rocks to jump down, paths to discover, fountains to touch and a huge pond with Koi inside. 
Happily... it was a pleasure for the four of us!


But.... the donkeys, yes the donkeys... they were the sensation. This little bundle of joy in the pictures is a three days old baby donkey. He was so cosy and friendly my babies could hardly let off him. Of course... Lina was stroking and kissing him until he went off searching for his mama.

Is this a sweet face, or what?

In this area were so many things to discover... Alpaca and lamas, donkeys and horses, sheep and goats, teeny tiny newborn rabbits and chicken running around. 

Only the rabbits are in a coop and all others are wandering around. This is so funny!


Giggles of love with my baby who turns two in a bit more than a months... aaaahhhh!


I could take hundreds of photos of Max holding the hands behind his back when he is highly concentrated and observing... this is too cute for words!


This day was extraordinary! We all enjoyed it so much and the children were so easy as it was totally appropriate for them!

Love you so,

Mama

Afternoon activities

Due to the heat and due to ... our lack of cooling water, haha! ... we invited ourselves at our friend´s place. These lucky guys own a huge pool. The kids were playing together and we could have some relaxing time and chats.

The first, nearly two hours, Lina was sleeping in the cool car. So, of course, she had best mood afterwards. I simply adore this little cheeky girl of mine!



I cannot believe how afraid of the water Max was the year before. He refused swimming in the pool without mama or papa... happily he is enjoying everything about it now. 

Daddy was even throwing him up in the air and he splashed into the water with head under. The first time I saw it I was sure he would scream like crazy but instead he showed up with giggles on his face... oh how sweet... and surprising... this was!


Such a fun day! Hope to have this time as soon as possible again!

Love you,

Mama

Anna

Great-grandmother came over this morning to visit us and to... bring the kids some cookies... of course ;-)

It´s her 87th birthday tomorrow. But as she knew she would have lots of fuss in her house then she decided to come over today... we were so happy to hug her and give her tons of birthday kisses!

Happy birthday, beloved granny!
