We have been spending a lot of time outside, and venturing out to see some more sights ...
We have a great little park in downtown Grafenwoehr that Elliott loves - this swing especially. We ate at an Italian restaurant last night, and then walked over to the park. E had a blast ... until we made him leave.
We usually lounge outside for a bit after daycare ... Elliott likes to watch the dogs run around. He started saying 'sit' ... so he follows Roscoe around and yells it at him, while shaking his finger ... no idea where he got that from :)
Loving our yard ...
Elliott spent a good 45 minutes loading the trunk of his car up with rocks ... and then unloading ...
We took a little day trip to the nearby city of Amberg (not to be confused with Bamberg) last weekend. It was a cute little city, and a nice escape from Graf.
This bridge is called the Stadtbrille ... or the 'town spectacles' ... it is supposed to look like a pair of glasses??
We mis-ordered our doners and they came out on a platter on top of fries. Interesting take on our favorite dish ... very meaty ... and saucy ...
Elliott is doing great. He is talking up a storm ... he can say; mama, dada, uh-oh, tickle-tickle-tickle, hot, sit, hi, more, and bye! He is getting his one-year molars in, and he is not liking the process. The bottom ones are already through, and the tops are on their way - so hopefully it will be over soon!
He has been eating much better ... his current favorites are mac and cheese, chicken and hummus. His favorite German dish is pizza Hawaii ...
Baths are standard routine every night ... obviously ...
We bought him one of those collapsible tubes from Ikea, and he loves it ... we working on putting together a 'play area' in the basement, as his room is over-run with toys at this point!
I have one more final project this weekend (which I should probably be working on instead of blogging), and I will be done with my first semester of grad school!! I should finish with two A's - unless I totally bomb this last project (which may very well happen). I am going to take four classes this summer during two different five week sessions, so it shouldn't be too bad without work getting in the way. Speaking of summer - I have seven weeks left of school, and I am counting down the minutes!
I am taking a trip to Poland in May with some girlfriends to go pottery shopping! Polish pottery trips are a huge deal here, so I have to go and see what it is all about! We are also planning a trip to Salzburg, Austria for Memorial Day weekend. Vic is having surgery on his foot at the end of May, so trips will be put on hold for a bit after that. Before we know it we will be gearing up to meet my dad and Reagan in Spain this August!
On the topic of visitors ... I just want to throw it out there that we only have another year and a half here ... sooooo, you should probably get on planning your visit. Did I mention we have several extra rooms and beds ... for free? Hop to it ...
Anyway, I should probably finish that project!!
