The Snowy Day

Slow-paced. Think Scandinavian Art Film. From a few days ago...but the snow is still here.

ABCs

A recent Sam alphabet: ABCDEFG HIJBLOP QRS(ssss) TUV(eeee) Double-X Y and Z Now I ABCs next time won't you single me.

Arrived!

We have arrived safely in Eberstadt with 4 very full suitcases, 4 enormous boxes, 2 carry-on suitcases, 2 stuffed backpacks, 2 diaper bags, a stroller and two children, all together weighing about 500 pounds. I believe the joke goes, "I just flew from Boston to Frankfurt and boy are my arms tired." Plus we managed to empty the apartment into a VERY full storage unit and even more stuff into a few other locations, including an overfull dumpster and a recycling bin that didn't know what to do with us.

Thank-you-thank you-thank-you's

to: Bert & Geng & Edgar & Lou (for helping to get us packed, trucked, and stored)

to: Tami & P (for getting us attic'ed)

to: Gundela & Richard (for getting us airported and untrucked)

to: Sabine & Hartmut (for getting us unairported and home)

and to: Grandma Betsy (for getting us through this crazy time by repeatedly saving our butts).

We'll work on some fresh visual content when we wake up in about six days. Thanks for your patience!

In the meantime here is a link to Uncle Tom's video gallery of a November trip he and Sarah made to Boston just before Emma was born. We went with Sam to the Boston Public Gardens. We miss you, Boston.

Das erste Bad

Happy First Month, Emma.
[by the way, these photos are from a while ago, just in case you were worried!]
