that after only 3 days. I would leave Richard at Kindergarden and he wouldn't cry?! Not me, Robert cried every morning for 6(!) weeks. Richard the little darling, gave me the saddest look, standing at the window waving, BUT he did not cry all morning and he didn't need his "corner" (that's his comfort blanket that goes to bed with him every night and lunch time)! And when I went to pick them up. Normally Robert is waiting for me at the door, but today, I had to look for the pair of them. It was great, they were in the farthest corner of the playground, playing with some other kids! I could have jumped for joy. Even the girls from the kindergarden were surprised at how quickly he had decided to settle in, they too remember Robert. (well, it is only 7 months ago!)
Of course I had to tell Nanna and Florian straight away, and they were flabbergasted and over the moon too!
Even though the fog didn't clear all day, we went in the garden and barn. The boys spent most of their time playing in the sandpit in the barn. When we came back in a neighbours granddaughter popped in for a visit. The boys would have loved for her to stay to tea (supper), but tonight is bath night, so I declined.
Bathtime is another of the many times I wish Florian was here. Bathing the two of them is not easy on your own, but they are clean now, and tucked up in bed, and - dare I say it - quiet!
Leigh, you had a couple of questions, yep, I am the British girl living in Germany, and have been now for 29 years (big party next year - oh goody that would make two parties, think you can make it?!) I love it in Germany, and I LOVE being bilingual, I hope that my kids also realise how great it is to be able to speak two languages. At the moment they only talk English, which is unusual seeing that the world around them only speaks German, aside from me and my parents. But I am not complaining eventually they will speak German, and who knows then I may complain that they don't talk to me in English, but I will worry about that if and when it happens.
Right, now I want to go and visit Leigh before I head downstairs to put the finishing touches to my grandma's book - yep, I did it! Had to postpone the ironing, but I have finally finished the book! Just needs me to go through and put in the pictures in the right size and then it can be sent off! And I can get back to tackling DSO's challenges, only 14 or 15 to go to qualify for the BIG kit!
Bye 4 now

Wow, you finished....Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. It does feel good to get it done doesn't it??? Sounds like you had a really good day, I agree, it must have been the moon. Though Jordan woke up this morning with an attitude it was quickly righted. Been a good day so far.
I wanted you to be the first to know, though I will be posting it on the blog, I may be gone here very soon. My hubby's grandfather passed away this afternoon...we are just waiting on information on what is going to happen but I know we are going to go and support his mom. So if I am not around...no worries...o-kay??? But if you will keep his family in your prayers?? Take care and Blessings to you.
Thank you for coming by so late, and for your sweet comment and the poem you left. Way to leave me in tears...not really for hubby's grandfather though I did love him I wasn't really close to him...more for remembering my own mother. It took me back 5 years when we lost her and I remember how I felt so vividly. Like I tell everyone I will always have good days and bad days when it comes to remembering my mom...it's harder when we lose another family member because the memories flood back. Thank you for thinking of me and the rest of the family.
Oh and I forgot to answer your question earlier...YES I want to come to the party....I would love to come and see Germany!! I have been to England when my sister used to live there, but that was like 14 years ago. So when I win the lottery, we will make the plans...cause hubby will never agree otherwise...ha ha ha.
Thank you again my friend and take care of yourself. Blessings to you.
