Snow Day

Well, it wasn't really a snow day, but it could have been, had it started snowing 12 hours earlier. By evening rush hour, several inches of the pretty white stuff had fallen, and we spent a fun evening outside, sledding, skiing and shoveling.

Growing up fast


Dominik is growing up so fast. In the last couple of days, he added such critical words as NO, HI, and ON (or AN in German)!

Skiing Together

In a mixture of boredom and insanity, I decided to take both boys skiing by myself a few weeks ago. Dominik had never been out and only practiced once in the basement, but immediately started walking on his plastic "skis" over to the bunny hill. Lukas has been getting good enough that he can ski without tethers and too much interference from me. So we spent a few hours on the bunny hill, with me riding the magic carpet up right behind Dominik and then skiing down with him between my legs. Exhausting, but fun!

Fettsack

Seit einem Jahr oder so nennen Nadja und ich Dominik ab und an liebevoll "Fettsack". Ist er ja nun wirklich nicht, das Kind ist ein Fliegengewicht mit seinen 20 Pfund. Aber er hat so süße dicke Wadeln und so einen runden Bauch nach dem Essen. Nun ja, vor ein paar Tagen begrüßte Lukas dann Nadja morgens mit "Fettsack"! Ab sofort heißt Dominik jetzt "Kiek", nach seinem momentanen zweitliebsten Wort, Keks, und das Wort Fettsack hat Hausverbot.
