Squink with teeth

OK, so it is somewhat hard to see them, but here is a picture of his teeth!

Life as I know it...

Once upon a time I was tagged with the computer meme by my favourite Hamster... I was hoping that I could manage to take a picture when my "computer areas" were clean, but I am just to busy... so here for your viewing pleasure are my computer areas: I know, what do two people need with three computers...
Well, let me tell you...
The laptop is what was my lifeline during bedrest, I love my laptop, and though it may technically be called ours, it is mine...

the flat screen was a Christmas present and the other...

Well, it was too cheap to pass up and so we thought why not... that way when my mom stays with us we can each sit at a computer and ignore eachother like any good American family in the technical age.


In other news, Schatz and I are trying to start a German school, there is not really a weekday school here that serves the purpose of providing a language based European education so we are working with the German government as well as the local Swiss, Austrian and German consuls to start one. We may have found a partner school/church and it is very very exciting! The school was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, so the location is architecturally interesting. It is not in an area where most of the German, Austrian or Swiss parents live, but it is close to freeways. We are excited none the less, and since we will be uniform based, I will pick one based on my own personal experience with El Colegio Aleman (my German school in South America).

My dear little J1

Happy birthday sweet little one!
I remember visiting you when you were born, a delightful treat from bed rest and gazing into your gorgeous eyes and watching your big brother be so excited about being a big brother. My thoughts are with you this weekend, I just wish I could tell you how much I love you!
But,
I love you!
Happy First Birthday!!!!

Malcom had his first birthday and we had so much fun. Especially mommy since she finally got to touch and hold Malcom. Josef had fun and likes cake a lot!

I like this picture of Squink! Since we are now (both) feeling better... I thought I could share at the very least this...

PUKE!

Poor Squink, has not been ill in the horrible fever sorta way, but all week, he has puked at dinner... no fever... today he lost his appetite, and still no fever... a very experienced mommy tells me not to worry to much, it is just his teeth (which poked through last week), she also blames some rather interested diapers on that too.

Heck, he has been so happy other than that, that I tend to believe her... Especially since all that blood stuff seems to be resolving itself rather nicely!

Poor little one!
