aug 22 - Kristin's one!

We had a little celebration for Kristin at our home group tonight. Not many little guests, just mainly Daddy and Mommy's church friends in Frankfurt.

It was a truffle chocolate cake - first taste of alcohol already???

We later realised that we didn't take a family photo with the cake at all. So we got Kristin a second cake that weekend and decided to keep it strictly to family only. Only one grandparent was around... compared with Bryan's 1st birthday, this one was a very quiet one.

summer visit

We haven't posted any news on us for a long time. Reason of silence is mainly the visits we've been getting. My PILs are in town. But life goes on as usual. After all, A is posted here not for holidays. He's got to work. And me too! I need to run a household. Any SAHM will tell you what a feat it is to manage a household and care for two very young children.
We have been making short trips to places near by. Otherwise, it would be great disappointment for the visitors if they came such a long way and yet what they saw was the four walls of our humble home. Here's a short drive out of Frankfurt just to catch the last of the cherry seasons. And this is K picking cherries. :)

present from daddy and mommy

Daddy and Mommy couldn't figure out what to get him... We owe you a present, son...

But we thought a day at the amusement park would be fun. And yes, it was.

yeah, i'm three!

This wasn't exactly an immediate family affair. My parents-in-law were around, my mother was around. Pity that my father couldn't be here or Bryan would have been even happier...

This wasn't a big birthday bash either... compared with his 1st and 2nd Birthday parties, this was certainly a quiet one. But it's one where Bryan's most expressive - check out those facial expressions... pity that he didn't have the big extended family to celebrate this special day with him this year.
