Germany: Garmisch

    Thank goodness for finally getting sleep on our second night at the hotel. The first night I was up multiple times and really uncomfortable, but our second night was much better... until Connor woke us up at 7:15 {I really wish my kid would sleep in once in a while!}. While we were getting dressed and packing, the guys let the boys run off some energy in the open area outside our room.  They had quite a but of fun running around and jumping off "the cliff" as Aaron called it. 

Germany: Drive to Garmisch and Oktoberfest

    Since we live in Italy, it only made sense that we would go to Germany {more specifically Oktoberfest} at least once. Since we missed it last year, we decided this year we would go. And how perfectly that our trip started on Aaron's birthday?! We have been planning it for months, and it finally happened this past weekend. Connor had school in the morning, so after I picked him up we went to our friend Morgan and Levi's house.

 He decided to just sit in the middle of the parking lot while we were walking to my car. He must have had a long day at school. I had to snap a picture because he kept holding onto my hand and that doesn't happened everyday these days.

Happy Birthday...

.... to my sweet, wonderful, and loving hubby

I hope you have a fabulous birthday weekend and enjoy the cupcakes Connor and I made you!

I can't forget to wish my new nephew Dominic a happy late birthday. He was born on September 30 and he is absolutely perfect! I can't wait to meet him in January!

Tot School: Letter C & Color Pink

     This marks our third week doing tot school at home, and Connor and I are both enjoying it. Since Connor started preschool this week, we had to fit it in after nap time on a couple of days. This week we focused on the Letter C and color pink. Our snacks for the week included clementines, cantaloupe, cupcakes, cheese, and crackers. Some objects/toys that we played with were cars, candles, cotton balls, and crayons.

Connor's First Day of Preschool

    Connor finally started toddler preschool today. He only goes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 to 11:30, but I think that's plenty.  He has been ready for quite a while now, so today was an exciting day for us.  We started a yearly tradition of taking his first day of school picture this morning. He was a good sport and smiled for me until I could get the perfect picture!
