heiligabend.

Lovis helped me make creme bruelee.

Würstchen und Kartoffelsalat. A traditional German Christmas Eve dinner.

And yes, midnight mass at the Sankt Elsiabethkirche. We were all soooo tired. This family is most definitely not good at staying up late. Well with the exception of Ethan. :-)

Perfect, perfect, perfect afternoon.

little and BIG things in october.

October was good to us! So many house guests, sunny days and great activities but most important: We found out we are expecting! I am due with our fourth child on June 21st and we could not be more excited! Having another child is something that has occupied our  minds and hearts for quite some time but the last two years were full of physical challenges and it feels like a miracle that we are given this chance one more time. The kids are thrilled and can't wait to find out the gender. Everyone is kind of hoping for a boy :-) but either way this baby will be loved and adored by our family!
