Family weekend






Can you see the frustration on his face ... whenever he tries to get closer to his car, he keeps moving away from it!



We had planned to go camping but since Andrin did not feel well, we decided to postpone our camping trip to next weekend. On Saturday, we had fun with our friends Becky and Beau and their family and went for a walk along the river. On Sunday, we first went cherry picking, then to our park (Fairmount park) where they had an opening celebration and free ice cream and music, and then on to our other park (Washburn park) where they have every Sunday night a concert. We had a lot of fun and Andrin did as well.

I am brushing my teeth now!




Since Andrin has quite a few teeth now and they seem to come up like crazy, we started brushing his teeth. He likes his special dinosaur toothbrush, even though he sometimes has a hard time determining which end should be in his mouth!

It is hot in Eugene!




The last couple days have been hot here in Eugene and we have been trying to stay cool. On top of it being outside hot, Andrin also had a fever yesterday. He is teething again and it seems like he now just gets fevers whenever he is teething. In anticipation of the hot weather, I went and bought a baby pool (it really is a baby pool ... it is small). I remember splashing in our pool when we were children and Andrin has been enjoying his pool.

Andrin's first bike ride






After Mami got me a new bike helmet (the other one is still too big for my small head), I was ready for my first bike ride. Papi installed the bike trailer and inflated the bike tires. He wanted to go for a jog and Mami and I planned to join him. Let me tell you, I do not like my bike helmet. I try to get it off, but that frustrates me even more. But as soon as the bike trailer starts moving, I usually forget about the helmet on my head. I enjoy looking at all the scenery flying by. Today, our ride was not too successful though. Papi must have inflated the tires too much, because about a block from home, there was a big bang and the tire was in pieces! Well, Mami and I turned around and Papi went on his jog by himself! Now, Papi has to fix the tire and we will give it another try. But so far, I really liked the bike trailer (and I hopefully will get used to the helmet as well).

Yesterday, we took a day trip to see Andrin's Gotti (godmother), Sara, and her family. It was fun to see Andrin and Leoni play together. The day before, we went to see Nisha and Nayan in Basel again.
