Remember...

When we would get off the bus, and I would get you out of your stroller after we crossed the street so you could run the rest of the way home? And half the time, you would stop to climb on this rock?

And how you liked to ride in our elevator? And how we would "buzz daddy in" and then you'd wait for the elevator to open so he would appear?
the duck pond?
Before shopping at Aldi, we would ride the parking elevator to the top? And when we looked out the glass window, we would pretend we were flying? And when we got to the top, we would yell, "Rebecca!!" and it would echo? And then we'd do it again on our way out of the store?
Yah, that was fun :)
Just some pictures I found that got me reminiscing about how we spent our days in Munich.
I wonder how much she will remember, and how much she already forgot!

Cheers

We celebrated with thisand the cat on Rebecca's cup is waving, bye bye...

to Little Black. Goodbye, car. Have a nice life! Can you tell I'm not really sad?
It was sitting there for 2 years so...ya know...
though I do have fond memories of some first dates in that car and falling in love with it's (previous) owner ;)

Guess Who's Two?!

We celebrated Omi's Birthday!
hahaha...Rebecca helped put up the decorations
Jim made that delicious cake

I made dinner!
and thought it was pretty enough for a picture

And Rebecca asked, with concern:
"What ya takin' pic-tchers of?"
She wasn't in the mood for a photo but I am mean

Some funnies from Rebecca were:
When Jorg wanted to see her sunglasses,
"Dad, just look...don't touch because you might break it. Just look with your eyes."

Jorg says, "aaaah!"
Rebecca pauses to think and says,
"Daddy said, aaah...Dad is a letter!"
and then she cracks up.
(get it? The 'A' says aaaah)

Obsession with the "Wild Hings" (wild things)
Rebecca: "Mom! Don't go upstairs. That's where the Wild Hings are, and they'll get ya!"
This morning when Jorg was leaving for work,
Rebecca: "No daddy, stay home. Don't go to work today. There are Wild Hings there!"

This week we also went with Mimi to get Rebecca's first real hair cut! She was very serious about the whole thing and sat v e r y still.
We Like It!
