It’s a rainforest in here

A few weekends ago we ventured out to do a little shopping for Mackenzie and headed to a toy store called Rofu Kinderland (Nieder-Rosbacher-Str. 17 - 19, 61191 Rosbach v. d. H., Tel.: (0 60 03) 93 46 01). The German word "Lieblos" (loveless or unloving) sprung to mind...

Using those pipes

Mackenzie has recently been getting more use out of her vocal chords, cooing at us more, almost having little conversations with us and really letting us know when something upsets her. Like if she's been laying on the changing table too long and she wants me to hurry...

Keep on rollin’

Mackie and I went to the hairdresser this morning. Her fuzz didn't need any trimming just yet but my hair was starting to look rough after 3 months of no love. We got to use her stroller for the second time ever...I have to say it really can be practical even if it is...

Getting things corrected

I had to be up bright and early this morning so Mack and I could go to the US embassy. After we got the passport and birth certificate  in the mail with the wrong birth date (my mistake, not theirs), I had to figure out what we needed to do to correct it. One can...

We’ve got the giggles

It's my general assumption that just about every new (and probably some which are no longer so new) parent is obsessed with developmental milestones and when their child hits them. I got an email from babycenter.com a few days ago and noticed they have an interesting...

It’s no Sonic Drive-In

It's been a few weeks since I, the greenhorn mommy, discussed the joys of breastfeeding. Don't get me wrong...it can be a great time to bond with your child when they're there a few inches from your face and not much else is going on. But I have rarely been in more...

Oh happy day!

Well folks, it's finally happened. We got snow! And I have to say - it's just as fantastic as everyone led me to believe it would be!!! Not only could I see everywhere I'd been walking...but everything was just crisp and fantastic! Even the water in the stream tasted...

Harness good, block bad

My dear doggie friends! It's been a crazy couple of days here. First, it's super cold!!! We're talking barely above freezing for almost a week, folks...and I hear there's more to come. It's been really clear and sunny which was nice...but some snow would rock!...

Enough with the doctors already

We took Mackenzie for her third checkup today (the U3 untersuchung). It was our first visit to Dr. Petra Reitz in Karben since all the other exams had been done at St. Vinzenz Hospital. I rather randomly chose her from the phonebook online since we couldn't find the...
