Welcome home...Germany

From colorful flowers to colorful Berries

I've noticed since we've been back that there are many colorful berries around the neighborhood...Red, blue, orange, and purple. I meant to take some pictures but it has been raining when we went out.

There are many colorful things to look at and the leaves are starting to fall off some trees, but they aren't really changing color yet.  I'm looking forward to seeing what color the maple trees turn.

Go Pack Go!

Thanks to my dad  (Beefs having the NFL Network and working some Slingbox magic) and the NFL schedule we were able to watch the Packers on our Sunday Night Football!  It appeared to be a blow out but then the second half was exciting.   Although Will was sporting his Packers gear, he didn't stay up for the entire game. Chad told him about it this morning and he was so excited...as you can only imagine.  Those crazy Packer fans!

Go to Sleep O Little Baby

Will has almost gotten back into his sleep routine at night. I think he is a bit confused about being in the same bed every night and not as active during the day.  There are even days he doesn't get in his car seat.  Chad seems to think he needs to recover from "Crib Envy" from the nice Baby Frankovis Crib he slept in while in the US.  He's now going down around 9:30pm after we read a few books (thank you to all that made our library grow) and turn on the iTunes.  He'll sleep until 4am or 5am, get up for about 10 minutes to eat, cuddle and burp (in that order), and  go back to sleep until 7am or 8am. 

"24"

We also spent the past week watching Jack Bauer in season 2 of 24! OK, I'm hooked and addicted!  We laid in bed Saturday  morning and watched 3 episodes and last week when Will was adjusting to the time change we stayed up late and watched a few episodes every night. I'm excited to start season 3, however, Chad says we have to wait until he's not so busy.  Joey, Maggie, and the Tauchens, I understand what you were talking about...

The Little Mover

Will is also moving around a ton!  He loves to kick his legs on his back and push himself up when he's on his tummy. He'll be crawling as soon as he can support himself. He'll get up and just giggle and smile.  He also will use his legs to push off of things. He's growing fast!

Back Home...Germany

It's been a bit interesting being back in our flat.  It seems a bit unreal that we were really in the states for 3 whole weeks.  It also seems like we were ready to get back to our stuff and to get Will into a routine again.  We had a wonderful time back home but now it's back to grocery shopping every other day, walks in the pram, a bit cooler weather, and learning German.
