Y2W25 - The Daily Grind
First off - I have to apologize for forgetting to mention that one of the highlights last week was that my friends had a baby shower for me. I kept telling them that it was unnecessary and most of them brought us a little something when Lleyton was born so I certainly didn't want any of them to bring more presents. But, none-the-less, they had one for me anyway. It was so much fun. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera so I have no pics of the event. We have made some great friends here and I will be sad when one of us leaves. I think we will probably be the first to go. So, thank you Claudia (who hosted an amazing spread), Julie, Astrid (who couldn't be there due to sick kids), Susan, and last but not least Byron. What would I do without you guys? The thought and time spent was greatly appreciated.
Now on to this week...November 11th is St. Martin's Day here in Rheinland. The celebration of this happened on Thursday Evening at the girls school. Here are some pics of the festivities. It was so much more fun this year because we knew people, and we knew what was going on. Last year we were very confused. This year, both Bailey and Avery found their little group of friends and we all walked the parade as a group. I tried to get a video clip but it was too dark and you can't hear the people singing the St. Martin's songs, so I had the girls sing them for the camera later.
This week I asked Bryn what she wanted for Christmas and she said an iPod. She's three. I seriously don't know where she gets this stuff.
Other highlights of note are: I got the much needed haircut on Saturday. It was a long time coming. It took four hours for color and a cut which was not exactly what I wanted but it is a million times better than wearing a pony tail everyday. If anyone still gets their hair cut by Allison, tell her I miss her. When I got home, Greg and Lleyton gave me a look like, "What in the world took you so long." Then, I went to a Relief Society Humanitarian Aid Project in Düsseldorf, this time taking poor Lleyton with me. I felt sorry for Greg as I was gone most of the day and he was not feeling good.
Sunday, Lleyton was two months old and these are his two month pictures:

During the week, Lleyton started smiling and rolling. I did manage to get a couple shots of the smile but I was too slow to get the roll, he was getting a little frustrated with me when I kept putting him on the floor on his tummy just to get him rolling over.
