13. Dec 2009, (hoffentlich) FeierabendThe first bath

091212_malte_erstes_bad

We had to wait a little longer, but finally the umbilical cord was gone. So it was time for the first bath, and we could use the little blue baby bathtub waiting in our bathroom for weeks. While bathing was pure horror for Nadja in the beginning, Malte loves the water right from the start. He relaxes in the warm water – just as described in the books in the advertisments. Still – according to our midwife we simply use some milk instead of expensive baby bath cosmetics.

091130_malte-nadja

Friday, 27th November 2009: Welcome home, Malte Lennart! And of course his name is now written on the door (of the children’s room) – even if he sleeps in our bedroom for the time being and spends most of his day time with us in the kitchen or living room. :-)

29. Nov 2009, mitten in der NachtThe first encounter

Okay, it’s not really the first encounter. But at least the first I have on video. Spontaneously recorded, with the iPhone. Because I found it cute. So please do not complain about the quality, the content is what counts :-)

27. Nov 2009, mitten in der NachtWelcome, Malte Lennart

25th November 2009, 0:55 am: our son Malte Lennart enters this world. For the stats: 3300g and 49cm. The birth itself ran smoothly, just as written in the books. Still, it was a miracle! Mam and Malte are just fine, and Dad, too. Nadja was pampered by Grandma and Grandpa and could not wait to see Malte next morning. But enough said, let the pictures talk!

23. Nov 2009, mittagsSubbotnik at the Datscha

We love the autumn. Especially the “Indian Summer” when the trees are turning yellow and red. Only at our Hazienda this is no fun: the foliage is covering the lawn and has to be removed – or the green is gone next year. Especially as we have many oaks. Those leaves do not rotten so easily… so, move everybody, for a “subbotnik” on the “datcha“!

29. Sep 2009, abendsOur Tuscany trip

The destination for our summer vacation 2009 was Lajatico in Tuscany, Italy. We have been there two times before, and also the third time we liked it very much! It was great for us three to relax, spent time together and forget about time, work and other daily duties. During the weekends we were four as Christianes sister Ulrike visited us. She is currently living in Florence and was happy to see her nice again. As everybody knows the “typical” pictures of beautiful Tuscany, we selected only a few personal ones. Enjoy!

07. Sep 2009, spaet abends Her second birthday

Already two. Nadja celebrated her second birthday during our holidays in Tuskany. So we had only a small party: the three of us and her aunt Rike, who is currently working in Firenze (Florence). It was just amazing to see her eyes lit up when she saw the ballons and the presents…

02. Sep 2009, kurz vorm FeierabendThe Wedding

Christiane und Doreen

Finally, last weekend the wedding took place: Denny and Doreen became husband and wife. Christiane, who was selected as maid of honour, did a lot of preparation and organisation for the party. And being her husband, of course I supported her (at least a little bit). To cut a long story short: it was a fantastic party with a beautiful couple. Everything run smoothly, no bad surprises or mistakes happened. Christiane and Robert, the best man of Denny, fully managed the whole day, and could even enjoy the party themselves ;-)

From my point of view it is the choice of the wedding couple to present photos. So I only post one particular picture I love very much. It was taken during a break of the official shooting, to catch the “best friends”, bride and maid of honour, on this very day.

27. Aug 2009, abendsSo much and so little

So much has happened, and so little time to write about it. For weeks we are in the wedding planning. No, not our own – we will have our 7th anniversary very soon. It’s Christianes best friend who will be married, and so Christiane has a lot to organize. Stag party, wedding newspaper, games for the wedding party, presents, right clothes and all the other stuff. This saturday is THE day. Finally ;-) One week later we will go on holidays. Again: FINALLY! To Italy, to Tuscany!

Because it won’t get easier as Christianes belly is growing literally every day ;-) ‘We’ are in week 26 already (luckily there is an iPhone App for that as well…).
