Another Pilot?

Today was shadow day at Brian's work and he took Luke into the office with him. And since Brian is a part of the Falcons aviation team, the office includes the flight line. Luke was able to check out an actual helicopter - inside and out. Brian said he had a great time climbing in, pressing buttons and peeking out the windows. He spent an hour and a half at daddy's office and when I came to pick him up he told me all about it and said he wants to fly the "hepicopter" too.

And speaking of flying, Brian, among others, flew the "burgermeisters" (mayors) of the local towns around in their helicopters the other day. We were able to see their helicopters fly right by our house as they landed in Lupburg. It was a gorgeous day out and Brian took pics from the air.

A Weekend in Garmisch

We went to Garmisch this weekend. The last time we went there was last February, remember that? (and this and this and this)  A group of families from Brian's work planned a ski trip so we tagged along so Brian could get some snowboarding in before the entire season passes without him hitting the slopes. It was a really easy trip. Brian had a great time, the kids were wonderful and I just tagged along! Luke loved staying in a "ho-towel" and getting to share a bed with daddy. Brian also took him to the pool and the big "hot pool" (hot tub) outside. We arrived on a beautiful sunny day and received a fluffy, wintery snow the following 2 days, which doesn't do much for visibility but it makes everything a winter wonderland. We went to a German restaurant in Parkenkirchen on Sunday night with a small group of people and were treated to some traditional Bavarian dancing by two young boys, probably about 11 years old, who I would guess were related to the owner and would probably be mortified if any of their friends had to watch them dance for Euros. LOL.  I really want to return to Garmisch in the summer - they still have the chair lifts open to take people to the mountain top restaurants and hiking trails.  Plus, downtown Garmisch and Partenkirchen are so quaint that I would love to wander around in some warm weather.

Austria! We crossed the border on Sunday for another day of snowboarding

Nice and clean and completely passed out

I had to get another picture on him on the rocking chair - here is one from last year -

Luke had a ball playing in the closet and hiding

Hmmmm....who on earth does Hannah resemble?  :)

Not her mommy!

The most delicious chocolate cake ever!

2 month baby stats

Hannah went in for her 2 month well baby exam this morning.  She is 23 1/4 inches long and weighs 12 pounds, 4 ounces.  Luke at 2 months was 24 1/2 inches long and 13 pounds, 4 ounces. And below is another comparison picture of Luke at 2 months.  It is fun to notice the differences and the similarities.  Hannah may end up looking a little more like her mommy than Luke does.  I have a feeling if you put big round eyes on Hannah, our baby pictures might resemble each other a little more.  Either way, she is a pretty little girl and I can't wait to see what she looks like as she grows.
