visiting Judith

Beautiful weather on sunday, so we decided to go to Bad Vilbel with our friend Judith, who Gabriel has a secret crush on ;-) It was so pretty walking along the river and then feeding the ducks in the park. Well, Gabriel threw the bread on the ducks, but they didn't mind too much. Trying to get everyone in the picture, but we weren't very sucessful, Mia is sitting on my lap but more than her head never made it on the picture.
We found a very cool playground, it reminded me of "Vicky the Viking", a kids cartoon we have here in Germany. Gabriel had a great time.

Up and down and up and down and up and down...

Proud Oma. Mia looking so cute in her brown dress.
Gabriel and Mia, such a great big brother taking care of her always!

some recent pictures

I haven't uploaded many pictures lately. Here are some random ones we took.

Gabriel and Mia enjoying a bath. Mia sits in her "seat" that helps her not fall over. She can't sit yet, but wants to be up aaaaall the time! Oma, Opa, Gabriel and Mia at a visit at Omas house.

Proud Opa with his grandchildren.
Mia loves her some Opa! Always smiling!
Yeah, I grabbed a piece of pizzacrust from mommys plate!

A weekend with Nonno and Hilla

Last weekend Gabriel went to spend the whole weekend at his granparents house in Frankfurt. Of course they had a huge list of things they wanted to do with him. Saturdays the weather was rather yukky, so they went to a great indoor pool. No pictures of that unfortunatly.
On sunday they went to the "Opelzoo", just north of Frankfurt. Not only are there tons of animals but there are also lots of different playgrounds. Gabriel was in heaven!
Both have said they want to do it again soon, although I believe Nonno was so tired and exhausted on monday, he wished he had some weekend left ;-)

This was taken when they brought Gabe back and he wanted to hug both the women.He's looking at the TV and that was just as important, haha.
He loves the "Kettenkarussel"! Not sure what they call it in english.

Gabriels first pony ride. He is usually very scared, I guess he's growing up ;-)
Wow, what a big icecream. I wonder if he was able to finish it.
wobbely...
Love this picture, so cute!
This is one long slide. Gabe went up and down and up and down. No wonder he was super tired when they drove home!
Copying an elephant.
