Almost 2 weeks ago we had to say good bye to our loved ones in Germany which was ,as expected, full of emotions. So sad to know we won´t see them for a while and we won´t be there for a ton of things we took for granted over the past years. No St Martinsumzug at Flynns Kindergarten, no awesome Ibberson Christmas Party and who will host this years Nikolaus Party, now that we are here? That just crossed my mind.
Anyway, all the sadness felt a little better after I saw how excited the kids were to have their daddy back. They were thrilled!!!!!! Stella had made up an order in advance of who could hug Daddy first, second and last. Yes, I´m used to be last in line ;)
Lucien kept saying over the past weeks: `Daddy arbeiten( work)` at least 30 times a day. But when he saw him at the airport waiting, he started smiling real big and said:` Daddy, arbeiten, NEINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!`
It was such a precious moment!
So we are back, and back in our routine. Well it´s kind of a new routine since Stella started Pre-K last week. She is doing wonderful( I´ll post about it soon)
The weather had been gorgeous since we got back. There is fall in the air. It is so nice to finally be able to be outside in southern Louisiana. We took lots of time last week to decorate our house and garden according to the season and we all loved to do so. Of course Stella worked the hardest( quote of Ms Stella). She raked the leaves and pine needles, filled 3 wheel barrow loads and dumped the stuff. No need to mention that she slept like a log that night.
We have been busy but we are almost back on track which hopefully gives me some time to keep up with this blog over the next couple of days. We will look back at 3 weeks in Germany filled with lots of friends, family, travelling, get-togethers....... so stay tuned.
