T-Minus 179 Days (14 weeks & 3 days)

Hi Everyone!

I realize it's been three weeks since my last entry and I can not even tell you how bad I feel. However, there's a perfectly good explanation for the delay.

My mommy is actually not feeling so great right now. She caught a nasty bug when we were in Germany and she's been sick for over two weeks now. Even though I'm fine, she is coughing so much that sometimes I think I'm riding Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great America. I hope she'll be better soon. I really do feel sorry for her.

Daddy's been trying to make her as comfortable as possible. Sometimes that's a little hard though he says, because not only is she sick, she's also pregnant (duh!) and with pregnancy come mood swings. Don't worry though, after knowing mommy for almost 9 years he's used to it!

Anyway, why don't I just give you a short recap of what happend the last couple of weeks, so all of you will be up to date.

Let's see... last time I wrote from Prague. A lot has happened since then. As you can tell from the pictures in my previous entry, Prague was just wonderful. At least that's what my parents tell me. I slept most of the time.

When we arrived back in Germany we went straight to mommy's favorite restaurant. The China Restaurant Mandarin in Bad Windsheim. She has to go there everytime she's in town. By the way, I don't think I've mentioned it before, but Bad Windsheim is my daddy's hometown. If you ever get a chance to go to Germany, you should go visit.

Other than eating loads of good food, mommy and daddy went to meet with old friends and spend a lot of time with daddy's family. Oh, I forgot to mention that most of them didn't even know about me until my parents got to Germany. Boy, let me tell you... I've never seen anyone more excited about me than my Great Grandma. As soon as she found out about me she started knitting me a pair of socks. Mommy says they are really nice and that they'll keep me warm in the winter.

We also went on lots of walks with Grandpa's dog Picasso. He's something, let me tell you. He likes to go hunting for rabbits and he loves swimming in lakes, but what he loved the most was sleeping in mommy's bed, which my Grandma wasn't too thrilled about. I bet Picasso is missing my mommy a whole lot.

So, my first vacation really was great. I love flying by the way, which is good because I have a feeling I will be flying a lot in my life.

Now mommy and daddy are getting ready to move into our new house. Only two more weeks! That's also when my Grandpa and Great Grandpa are coming over. They'll help move. I'm sure that's going to be an exciting time, especially for my Great Grandpa since he's never been to the States.

I'll try to keep you updated on how the move is going. Oh, and by the way, if you have any questions you can always use that handy little "comment" feature under every post.

Take care and stay tuned for more!
