Thank you everyone for the kind comments, messages, and e-mails! Your thoughts and genuine concern is greatly appreciated!!!
My husband left Saturday and I have moving non-stop since. My house is clean, we've been to the zoo and been spending time with lovely friends! Busy, busy is great during times like this. Still have to make time for my great blogger friends of course!
Some things going on....well..Friday was my son's 5th birthday!!! He's my first-born, my first love! We've been through s much from the time he was conceived- let's just say he was meant to be here! He is both American and German (I am American just in case you do not know) so he speaks both German and English. Well he speaks "Deenglish!" which is a mix of Deutsch and English. Though he seems to reprimand is brother and sister and Deutsch, I wonder if that's because he gets reprimanded at kindergarten! It's so sweet that he loves both cultures though he prefers German. Which is fine ;)
Some photos!

Happy birthday to Jalen!
ReplyDeleteIs your husband deployed now or is that the other thing he had to leave for?
Regardless, I hope time flies by quickly, and he'll be back home with you soon. You're a strong woman, Sommer, so I have no doubt that despite your worries, you'll all turn out fine.
I wish I was still in Heidelberg, then I could help you out but hopefully your friends there will.
Happy 5th Birthday to your big boy! I love the picture of both of you :o) Glad to hear you are keeping busy so far, I guess kids will do that ;o) The Ben 10 cupcakes are totally funky green, my little guy (not so little at almost 9) would have loved them too!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your little boy. He looks tall for his age :).
