Visit from Germany

Mommy and daddy came for a visit to the States - again! After like 9 months not seeing them, my hubby and I picked them up at the airport mid-august :-) I was so excited to finally get a hug again!

They spent over two weeks with us and we had a wonderful time. They did some sightseeing in D.C., we went to Baltimore and the National Aquarium, visited a Amish Market, had a great cook out with the whole family and the cherry on the top was our trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina :-) only downside of that trip: JT and I both got stung by a some Jellyfish *grrr* That really hurt... Back in Maryland both JT and I had to work, but with this stressful schedule my parents where happy to spent some time at our place and just relax ;-) 

Wait the real cherry on top? My parents were able to be a part of another major decision in my/our life :-) updates following soon ;-)

Family BBQ & Baptism

Our last saturday was really busy - again ;-)

We went in the morning to a baptism which was like 30-40 minutes from our place. It was a great ceremony and little Eva is such a cutie pie :-) so happy we were a part of this! 

After the church we had to say good-bye to the parents - our good friends - because we got invited to JT's dad's surprise birthday party. Attendance mandatory :-D

It was such a great day. Family and friends all united, great weather, bbq, kids runnin around. I just loved that! Later the day my sisters-in-law found out that I never had s'mores yet. So everyone scrambled together, got all the ingredients and the bonfire got started.

So I had my first s'more - so delicious and yammi :-D for everyone who doesn't know what s'mores are: they are a traditional night time campfire treat here in the United States. They consist of a roasted marshmallow and a layer of chocolate in between two pieces of graham cracker :-) if you have the chance, try them! :-)

Back at work

Whoop today is my first day back at work after a three week vacation :D but I have to say it goes pretty nice. No screaming or crying from the baby - all fine! Even the waving goodbye to her mom was the usual :D wow! So we are pretty much right back to our day-to-day routine which makes it quite boring. But anyway I shouldn't complain. All in all a good start back in to work.

At the beginning of September comes the first change for my 2yr old girl. Preschool! She will go five times a week from 8.30am to 12.15pm. So I will just work halfdays :) more time for my studies! Can't wait haha :D with all the wedding planning going on it will be nice having time during the day to study ;)
