Girlfriends

Quinn was really busy this week keeping all his girlfriends happy... Going to day care in the morning, he only has the afternoon left to keep up with all his friends.

Here is Quinn spending a wonderful, sunny afternoon with Anna at the playground.



Yesterday we had Manuela and her daughter Johanna visit from Munich. We spent a great day/afternoon together and really enjoyed it. Johanna is almost 5 months old now and really seemed to enjoy Quinn - who was doing quite a show for her!Quinn read to Johanna...

... and let her play with his favorite toy: the police car!

Little Explorer

Quinn started walking all by himself about a month ago and is getting better and better. He even tries to run but that doesn't work really well yet.
So, today, as we were walking to the garage, he wanted to pick up a leaf. And I don't know what he did and how he did it, but he fell right on his head. And now he has this big bruise on his foreheard! It looks awful because it is swollen and red and blue. But, I guess this just gives us an idea of what there is to come! We'll post again by the end of summer...;-)

Frühlingshochzeit - Spring Wedding

Last weekend we were invited to my cousin Philipps and his wife Doros "spring wedding" in Hattingen. We enjoyed getting together with the family and had a wonderful time. Thank you, Philipp and Doro!

We tried to take a family picture but Quinn would not let go off the Pretzel he was eating. I tried... as you can see in the first picture. So, Quinn is basically eating in 90% of the pictures that were taken.

My Dad thought it would be a good idea to let Quinn go down the slide. Quinn really enjoyed it. He enjoyed it so much that when my Dad thought 'two times should be enough' Quinn kept on walking back to the slide wanting to go down again... and again... and again...
Here is a picture of Quinn at the dinner table. Thanks Kocka! We love that pic!
And here is another one of Quinn - eating...;-)

Big Boy

Quinns first day in day care was on the 7th of April. So far, he is doing really well and after me being there with him for 3 days, we even started separating. He is becoming a big boy...

Winter Wonderland

This year for Easter the weather was perfect - if it had been christmas... It snowed, it was cold and we had to hunt for Easter eggs in the house. But, it was a great weekend and we enjoyed it nonetheless. Easter Monday (a holiday in Germany) the sun actually came out and we went on a wonderful hike in 'Fränkische Schweiz'.

Following my (Eva) family tradition, we colored our Easter Eggs on Good Friday. Quinn was a great help coloring the eggs! ;-)

Quinn searched for Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday - with some help from Daddy!

The Easter Bunny had even left some new toys for Quinn to play with!

On Easter Monday, we went on a hike in 'Fränkische Schweiz'. As a tradition in this area, the women of each village decorate the fountains with Easter Eggs and flowers. A very nice tradition - even nicer when they are not covered with snow!

Quinn was so excited - he wanted to jump into the cold water!

The hike was wonderful and very relaxing! I just wish we had been wearing another layer of clothes. It was so cold!

We hope you all had a Happy Easter!
