I wanted to paint the walls blue, but somehow I wasn't allowed to.



Oh happy day!

Happy snowflaky birthday!

We promised snow.

And kept our promise.

On her very special day, Lia wakes up to a snowflaky wonderland.

The only snowflake out there!

Happy white birthday, girl!

Sunny side up
Sunshine calls for ice cream. No matter the season.

Coats to keep warm, sticks for the bonfire.
Ice cream for good measure.

Little cousin Ove is still too little for ice cream. Boo.

A beautiful day. Lia with duck.

The kids and I at the Maschsee.

New boots (thank you Hans!) and shades. Yay!

The beautiful side of this season.

No matter the season.

Sweet chestnuts

It's official. And it's everywhere. Autumn.

The kids have collected walnuts and chestnuts aplenty.

Every season has specials to offer.

Some seasonal inspiration for everyone who loves autumn.

Oh, whatever. Three more seasons to go till next summer.
