Great Friends

This last week some great friends of ours came to visit.  I met Sarah Jane in 9th grade and we have been best friends since then.  Tom (her husband) went to our high school as well, so I have known both of them for many years!  They are soon-to-be-parents (in February), so we were glad they were able to make a trip out to visit.

Abigail took to both Sarah Jane and Tom right away. 

 

We had some praise and worship time together.  That's Daddy's guitar, but it seemed to be played a bit more frequently when Tom was around... 

A friend of theirs happened to be passing through our town, so she and her daughter stopped by for a bit.  Abbey really liked her new friend.

Yummy Eisschokolade and Eiskaffee!

Mom and Dad's Visit and Bergkirchweih

The annual Bergkirchweih is going on near our town this week.  It is the longest running beer festival in Germany.  To read more about the history of the event, read HERE.  Last year we had a 3 day old baby when the festival started, so we didn't go.  I did see a few babies that looked not too much older than that at the Berg this year!

Prost!

It was pretty warm and there were LOTS of people.

We love to play outside!  There is so much to see and so many new things to put in our mouth...

Time to celebrate our other May birthday... happy birthday to my wonderful husband!

What a wonderful time.

Ty's visit

My brother came to town!  We had a great visit and enjoyed hanging out together.  We went to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Nürnberg and took a trip down to Munich and of course relaxed at home.  The weather was typical Spring... cool mixed with warm mixed with sun and some sprinkles! 

Our first trip was to Rothenburg ob der Tauber.  On a trip there last year we had an injury and on another trip I got a speeding ticket (yikes!).  I was very glad that this trip was less eventful!  I don't know what's going on with my very khaki outfit, though!

We found a fantastic cafe that had a play area. 

Abigail really does smile a lot... she's just camera shy!!

We went to Nürnberg on Good Friday.  We ate at our favorite restaurant and Ty treated us.  Sneaky!

To keep Abbey occupied in the car, Ty gave her his watch one time.  She probably would have kept it the rest of the time he was there.  She loved it!

Munich was packed!  It was the Saturday on Easter weekend, meaning it is the only day from Thursday until the next Tuesday that shops are open!  Plus the weather was insanely gorgeous.

Waiting for noon at the Glockenspiel...

Playing with Uncle Ty...

She was so content sitting and playing with him!  So adorable!

Thanks for visiting, Uncle Ty!
