2012!? really?

Last week was both good and bad, had wonderful holidays with family but that was balanced with the loss of my Grandpa. Hard to be so far away from family to say the least... But it was a peaceful end for an amazing man who lived a long fruitful life. I will miss him.



For Christmas Eve we had Rucklette, a very typical holiday dinner here in Germany/Austria and maybe elsewhere as well. Remember the pics from last year? It's basically a table top broiler (turn the heat off as soon as guests arrive!). Super ful and you all have your own little tray to fill and top with cheese so you can make whatever you want!

See the broiler??? It gets the room/apartment quite warm... and if you cook meat on the top like a grill then smokey too :)






Sebas and I had a wonderful afternoon in Cologne before the crazyness of the holidays began. Christmas market, choir performance in the philharmonice orchestra hall in the City, Indian food... it was really really nice.


Oh, and Anjun ate his first meat. Basically an organic hot dog. Not proud but he wanted it.... so I gave it to him.... and he ate it... happily.


Anjun's first snow!!!! Only stuck around for a bit but I think he liked it. He really liked waving at it... and not so much walking through it... but pointing, waiving and touching were good. Hopefully we get more snow soon.

And now the big announcement, as you probably guessed we're expecting! Baby #2 will join the family in mid June and we couldn't be happier. We told Anjun and he seems to be cool with it :) He knows when I ask "where's the baby" to point at my belly... but otherwise he has no clue what's going on. It will be an adventure and we're more than up for it.

More details in the next post. Hopefully I'll be more 'regular' now (until the baby comes:)) Sebas goes to Canada for a week on Sunday, so just Mama and baby(s) for a week. We will miss him but he's beginning a journey of personal and professional development that he's very excited about. Can't wait to hear what the week brings him in Ottawa...

Bye for now and happy new year!!!
