Visitors

We have been to Freiburg this weekend, to visit Matt's granny, who is then Sara's great grand mother, and had a nice time with coffee and birthday cake.



Before we left we even took a picture of our little family to take to her and I think it turned out pretty well (this one is actually the first we took of many trials!)



Brigitte, Sara's Omi then stayed with us for the rest of the weekend, and enjoyed our (especially Sara's) company.

So tired...

At the weekend, we took some time to relax, some more than others! But it was urgently needed: Sara would turn three months on Monday 20 August!

An afternoon in the park

The other day, Matt, Sara and I went to the park and enjoyed the sunshine. Here are some pictures.

Art and dinner conversation

Yesterday Sara visited an exhibition for the first time (if you don't count her mom's at the Schmuckstüble...): "The Archaeologist" at the Tübingen Kunsthalle, mainly black and white drawings, very interesting (albeit quite looooong!).
And in the evening we also went to dinner at Alexia's and Roland's, which was also a first: first time out in the evening at a friends' place. Sara behaved admirably (and Alexia and Roland too!), participating in the conversation and sleeping when it got too tiring. And always looking incredibly pretty. Well done!
Oh yes, and we played a lot yesterday too!

Tübingen Flowers

During our walk, Matt took some lovely pictures again. Take a look.

Lovely weekend

We were fortunate enough to have Matt's parents visiting us last weekend. Katja had planned to come to Tübingen in order to visit Sara (of course!), and to visit her new boyfriend Aron who has just moved here to continue his education. Very cleverly she asked Jürgen and Brigitte if they wanted to come to Tübingen with her ("Don't you want to see Sara again? It is almost a month ago since you saw her last!"), so they decided to drive down, and paff! Katja, just by magic got her ride down! Verrry Cleverrrr! :o)

Anyway, we spend a couple of very nice days together, went for a couple of walks, ate a lot (as usual), but mainly we competed for whom was allowed to hold Sara the longest.


Just before Jürgen and Brigitte left, Sara showed how much she likes taking a bath.


In the late afternoon, once alone again, Matt, Sara and I went for a walk, at the end of which, just before we went home, we stopped in the park in front of our house and let Sara see the trees and the sunshine (she was all sweaty, it was a very hot afternoon, so she enjoyed being out of the pram).

Sara - my little girl

And this is Sara, she was born on May 20, 2007, on a Sunday.
Since then she has grown so much and so fast it is incredible. Ok, she also likes to eat.... I wonder who she got that from?

Introduction to me

So this is me, in March, that is when I was still pregnant with my beautiful daughter Sara. I suppose that now, five months on, I look rather similar ;o)
Since 2002 I live in Tübingen, a nice little quaint town in Southern Germany, and am married to Matthias, since 2000. We met at university and it was BANG, we could not do without each other any more.
I am an environmental consultant and work from my home office on a freelance basis. In my spare time, I am and ARTIST.
