We're Still Alive!

With our recent move to Boston, we've been out of our regular routine for almost two months now.  Now that we're in our new home and have an Internet connection and our own computer again, I'm excited to post some recent photos of our kids.  These are photos from the month of June when the kids and I stayed with my parents while we were waiting for our house in Boston to become available. 

I hope to figure out how to upload some photos from our moving days back in Geneva in May (they were sent to us via email from Olli's family) as well as some photos of our new house.  So keep patiently watching this space and hopefully you'll find more photos and updates in the next couple of weeks. :-)

Lukas chillin' with the boys

Lukas painting with water on the outside post.  To quote Olli's host-dad, he was doing a "German Job"

We went to many playgrounds while in Colorado, but this was Lukas' favorite one for sure.

Isabel is growing up so quickly!  She learned to roll over (from back to front), got her first tooth and had her first taste of rice cereal during the month with my family.

Lukas loved helping my parents do yardwork.

My little beauty!

Who's that Belle with her Grandpa?

My two kids holding hands.  Lukas was cheering for Germany in the World Cup (as you can see from his jersey) and would often spontaneously erupt in cheering "Deutschland! Deutschland!" for seemingly no reason at all.  I'm glad he's proud of his heritage.

The fascination with technology craze starts young these days!  Isabel was entranced with Olli's Blackberry even though it was only showing an online News column.

 One of my dad's friends, who happens to own a John Deere, graciously gave Lukas a ride on his tractor.  Lukas' hardcore adoration for tractors lives on! :-)
