We went on a trip this past weekend, to Austria to visit friends for their new baby's baptism.... the kids did AMAZING on the trip. The 7 hour drive there (with two short breaks) went smooth as silk, Marlo even napped! The last hour everyone was done with driving... but that's pretty normal.
We arrived for our extended weekend at their farm and the boys were in love.
New toys everywhere.....
A tractor to ride on!!! Below: Anjun and his playmate for the weekend. The weather was even pretty good, just one day with some rain.
OMG, check out Sebastian and his new Goddaughter! She is so cute, and Sebastian is honored with his new role.... he would be such an amazing Papa to a baby girl.
Meanwhile Anjun and his playmate found worms, played in the sandbox, explored the farm, fed the goats, chased chickens......
AND....
Got to ride on a real tractor!!!!! Nice and loud, old and wobbly at that. A dream come true.
Beautiful lake nearby with a view of the Alps... it was a very nice weekend of catching up.
Marlo, before the trip, got a well overdo ... well.... new 'do! It was borderline mullet. (shorter in the top/front, quite long in the back) so I just trimmed the back, and sides a bit. Gave him the lid to the honey jar. And an extra comb to chew on. We survived. And he, of course, looks adorable.
We've enjoyed the weather slowly becoming warmer and more sunny. This week it's almost summer.... even grilled once already, feeling another grilling session coming on soon. Going to the playground, adventures through the neighborhood, and discovering a huge pile of dirt in the backyard (aka: the construction site) so dig through....
And staying busy inside too. Anjun has little mechanics (the little orange men above) that repair his cars... with our car search recently and a couple trips to the shop he now frequently talks about changing summer and winter tires, broken engines and whatnot.
Meanwhile Marlo wants to help with everything even if it's totally not age appropriate. Cute. And difficult at times.
Otherwise we've re-arranged, painted some in the apartment and I think I'm ready for spring cleaning. Just waiting for the motivation. Maybe my upcoming Dr. appointment will do it - gotta slowly start getting projects done before baby comes.
We hope your spring is also beginning to bloom... much love to you all!
