MAY

Catching up with May…

May is always a crazy month because there are so many birthdays to include Andrew’s and mine. My birthday was really nice and relaxing. Andrew and I spent some time in the castle gardens before we met at a friend’s house to enjoy a birthday treat. Juliette and Stefan had decorated their living room and made a yummy fruit dessert with sorbet. Then the four of us headed down to the river where we rented a paddle boat. It was great fun! That evening Andrew took me out to one of our favorite restaurants ‘Café 1900.’ It was a wonderful birthday!



Just twelve days later we celebrated Andrew’s birthday. We had a cook out with our hauskreis (home group) in our backyard. Complete with bratwurst & brotchen, potato salad, veggies, fruit, desserts, etc. It was an absolute feast. We celebrated for hours, ending with Andrew leading us in songs around the fire. It was a really great time!



Also, on Andrew’s birthday we had a baby check up and another ultrasound. The baby was doing great and had grown from 2mm to almost 2cm! At this check up I was 9 weeks along and feeling great (counting my blessings for no morning sickness). It was just breathtaking to see our little one! The first time he/she was just a circle with a heartbeat and this time the baby had a recognizable head, body, arms, and legs.



One more bit of news, for those who don’t know yet, we will be arriving home July 1st now. We cannot wait to get home and see everyone. We love and miss you all.
