Summer Weather

Hello my lovelies!

As I suffer through not having my laptop anymore, I am realizing that I may never retrieve these THOUSANDS of pictures every new parent makes in the beginning. I am heartbroken. My friend came over to look at it, and he said the hard drive is dead. Dead! How can a beautiful, little baby do that to a computer?? Emma´s new nickname is BAM BAM. Like on the Flinstones. ugh.

I thought I would show you a typical example of this crayz, summer weather we are having here these days.

Brrr....it was about 55 degrees on Thursday!
Time for the winter hats, and of course don´t forget your bling!

Then came Friday...time to bust out the little mushroom pool she received as a gift on her birthday! Yippee for 75 degree weather! She doesn´t look happy here. But she was. She was sick the day after this photo was taken...you can see it here.

I´m sorry. Has back fat ever looked so cute???

Then came Saturday. While it wasn´t 55. It wasn´t 75, either.
Emma did her duty wtching over the backyard.

Anyways, its a small glimpse into our everchanging weather over here. I don´t think we are going to have a glorious, sunny summer. But these days of blue skies and over 65 degrees are what I am living for lately.

xoxo!

Technical Difficulties

Greetings from the rainy city of Frankfurt! Yes, rain in June. And probably in July, and so on, and so on...ugh, I hate the weather in Europe!

You have probably realized that I have been away from this little blog for a while - well, hopefully you noticed! After my Dads visit, we had a bout of sickness in the Spoerhase household, then Emma decided to play the drums on Mommys laptop and make it go away - FOREVER! Yes, my darling little girl broke my laptop. I will remember this come Christmastime, you can be sure of it!

I was also busy preparing some items to send to the U.S.! I have several friends expecting their own little bundles of joy, and I wanted to handmake some love for them...and as I have mentioned before, it seems to take me 3x as long to make something with Emma underfoot. Alas, the projects have (mostly) been completed and I am off to the post office today to mail said items! I am still working on a pillow & duvet cover for a friend of mine here. I would show you a picture of the cute Lucia (insert here), but I am working off of Christians laptop (and stupid, german keyboard!) and he doesnät have my pictures! Waaaaa! Anyways, I will show you a finished product once it is actually done so you can see what is happening over here in rainyland.

More later, auf Wiedersehen!
