Spring Time!

Monday, May 6, 2013
Frankfurt, Germany

Spring has officially sprung!  The trees have been blooming and the air smells like a floral bouquet every time you step outside.  It's wonderful.  We've seen the tulips, crocuses, magnolia tree's, and many other flowers open up and say hello!  The latest is the lilac bushes.  I love the sound of the birds and the church bells in the middle of the day.  We've been getting a few days of sunny blue skies and then that'll be followed by a few rainy days, but I don't mind at all!  Everything is so green and lush and it's still warm even if it is raining.

We've made lots of good friends now and have been having fun meeting for dinner, going to the park, shopping and most recently going to a German Wine Fest.  The wine fest was great fun for me, as Rob was kind enough to stay home with Hollis, so I could have a fun night out.

Hollis is growing like crazy (now 17 months old)!  She is becoming more and more independent and understands most directions.  She even figured out how to climb up the wooden steps at the playground, which leads to the slide, which she promptly slides down with a delightful "wee-ee" sound.  So cute she is!  She's really into musical toys, dancing her little baby bee-bop, and her building blocks.

In her favortite spot... under the kitchen sink in the cupboard.




She loves rocking horses! 
This is at a restaurant called The Table where we meet a group of mom's every Thursday for lunch.
 
All dressed up for dinner night out!
 
Found this MOTHER of all strawberries in the bottom of my basket.
I bought this at our local stand in the neighborhood.

At the playground near our house - first pigtails!


 
Playing in the sand...
 
She laughs and laughs and laughs on the swings...



Wine Fest in Bornheim.  This is my friend Jill.  :)
