Flower Power

In our family the tractor driver is a girl. And she's hauling pink accessories. My daughter is a tombboy in disguise. And as usual, she has picked her outfit herself, including the flower that she placed meticulously right on top of her head. It is very important to look good when you roll around in the mud with the boys. You get dirty in style.
And you never waste another thought on your outfit. You live it.


No time for fake beauty shots. Naturally.


Hey you. Want a ride on my tractor?


The womanizer. So cool, yet so gentle. At his toddler class Ben got bitten by another kid (pretty bad), but he stood his ground and sucked it up. Right until his Mama walked through the door. Then the flood of tears couldn't be stopped. He postponed his hurt until I came to pick him up. Hard shell, but very (very) sensitive on the inside.

Oh man, Ben is getting so big! Where's the little baby gone!? He looks so cool and grown-up leaning against his tractor there. He'll get all the letters should he ever sign up for "Bauer sucht Frau" (not that I even think for a MINUTE he'd have to do that in order to score with the ladies). Such a heartthrob. There will be many girly tears cried into pillows (too) soon.

And Lia! Lia, Lia, Lia. All you need to say about her, really. She's just Lia. Wonderful.

So wie wir die Beiden kennen und lieben: Lia ein kleiner süßer Rabauke - immer chic gestylt - und Ben, der gelassene Frauenschwarm mit Knutschmund. Zwei so wundervolle Kinder. Ove vermisst Euch!!

Ah bless. If the boy shares his rides, maybe the girl should share the flowers?! Looking gorgeous, both.
