Mother's Day

Today, we celebrated Mother's Day! We all got up in the morning after Andrin decided to sleep in until 7.00 am. Since Mami is so used to getting up early, she decided to get up with the boys, even though Papa offered to let her sleep in. While Mami was taking a shower, the boys sneaked outside and picked a beautiful flower bouquet for Mami. Papa told Mami later that he told Andrin to put his shoes on and then go outside really quietly and that Andrin was intrigued by all the secrecy. After a nice breakfast with pancakes, we took it easy and then skyped with Opa. We spent some time outside in the garden until lunch. After lunch, Andrin went to bed to take his afternoon nap. After he woke up, we took a looooong bike ride. We rode along the river with our destination of Sweet Life, a really known bakery/patissery in town. While we ate our sweets outside, a big and impressive thunderstorm swept over Eugene. But what better place than Sweet Life to be stuck?! We waited out the storm, and let me tell you, it was raining buckets and there were several lightning strikes and thunders ... and then went back home. What a wonderful day with our family!
