During the last weeks there were a lot of stories told around DSDS (Germans version of “Pop Idol” or “American Idol”) and USFO (a competing casting show selecting a candidate for EuroVision Song Contest in Olso). Basically I did not watch any of those shows. Why? Well, because I found my idol. Who could top this? ;-)
BTW, here are the lyrics.
Time flies by. Malte is 3,5 months already. It feels like yesterday when the little one was just born. Of course he is still “little” – however he grew quite a bit already. And he acts and reacts meanwhile. He can make his baby seat swinging all by himself for instance. And he loves it. It is the best thing anyway if he is smiling and laughing. He likes to be undressed. And if we play and tickle him. Have a look yourself :-)
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 :-)
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!
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“!
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!
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…
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…).
Unbelievable how differently Nadja can look… here are some portrait pictures of the last weeks.
Nadja has started to count. Okay, she can say the numbers in correct order. However, we were really surprised when Christiane was counting while changing the diapers: “One… two… three” and Nadja – out of the blue – continued with “Four!” First we thought it was a misunderstanding or coincidence. So we tested again: “One, two, three” – “Four” was Nadjas answer again. Meanwhile we can do this till “Five”, supported by fingers. ;-)
