Gotti Sara

Jeron and Andrin

Leoni and Andrin.

Nayan.

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.

Pictures

We went yesterday, Sunday, to Zürich. Opapa headed back to the Netherlands. Aunt Nicole and uncle Jorrit hosted a beautiful breakfast and then we also took a walk with them to the lake. We returned just in time since it started raining heaviley on our way back home. Once back at my parents' home, we relaxed and enjoyed being lazy.

Thank you, Opapa, for visiting us!

Thank you, uncle Jorrit and aunt Nicole, for hosting us (we will see you Wednesday again!)

Enjoying a ride with uncle Jorrit (Andrin really liked holding on to uncle's hair).

All smiles with Oma.

...better known as steelhead, chromer or metalhead around here. Basically a slab of steel!

Life is good right now, although it would be so much better if Femeke and Andrin would be around.


(ok, I admit this is not the fish I caught today but this picture would have been better anyways...actually, I did not have my "mobile contraption" with me today so I could not snap a quick picture).

My frog

Please meet my newest toy (I am being spoiled here) ... frog!

Teething Swiss-Style

Well, I always thought that I got teething down pretty well. But now I had to discover that teeting can get a whole lot worse. I woke up in the middle of the night because my gums were hurting so much and I had a high fever. I could not get back to sleep for over two hours. Whenever my Mami would try to put me down, I was awake again. Thursday was a difficult day for me and I finally felt better in the afternoon. But I still went out for lunch with my Opapa and Omama. I just felt best when I was in my Mami's arms (her arms must hurt her now) and did not sleep a whole lot during the day. I hope that I will be feeling better soon (my second top tooth is breaking through). Wish me good luck!

Gotti/Go-Gotti

I feel really honored that my godmother came to visit us Wednesday night. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but it certainly was for me. My godmother has not been visiting with anyone since February ... Unfortunately, she only gets out of the house for her chemo and doctor's appointements. It was great to see her and I think she also enjoyed meeting Andrin (who presenting himself from his best side and with his best behavior :) We love you, Gotti and Go-Gotti (for Andrin)!

Day on the lake

On Wednesdays, Opa has the day off. Oma left early in the morning with the train to Luzern where she had an appointement. The rest of us (Opapa, Opa, Andrin, and Mami) took the boat to Luzern to pick up Oma. The ride out there was quite cold, but then it warmed up and we had a beautiful day on the lake. We drove slowely to Weggis where we had a pick nic in the park. Andrin enjoyed his first boat ride. He played for the longest time with a string that he found and was just happy and content.
