Helter Skelter

This past Sunday I had an appointment to go biking with one of my friends. He lives near a hilly forest so, it is possible to mountain bike there, which is what we did. Initially it was going to be just me, but we talked to them at another friend's wedding and they invited all of us over. My friend and I would go biking first and have a BBQ afterwards. Well, that's what we did.

Tobias played with their children pretty much the whole time! And they had so much fun. Here you see him on a skelter, which, I am afraid I am going to have to buy too someday in the not too far future.... (it was slightly big for him at this point, but it won't take long....). Later they played with water squirters which, of course, was loads of fun too, although it does tend to make one kind of wet :-).

Unfortunaly we ended the day with a sick Lorelei. She had a fever, which of course alarmed us. We went to the doctor and were told not to worry.... Eh, where had we heard that before....? Anyway, by tuesday it was gone and as I am writing this a very happy and healthy Lorelei is sitting on my lap :-)

Having Fun Together

Tobias enjoys looking at pictures of himself. He will ask me: "Papa, what did I look like when I was a baby?" or "Did I also do what Lorelei is doing when I was a baby?". Of course the answer is yes most of the times and given the amount of the pictures I took of Tobias as a baby, most of the times I can show him as well. And I do that and enjoy that. So does Tobias.

Last week my parents were on vacation which meant that we did not have daycare on friday. I took the day off and since friday is only a half day of school I got to spend quite some time with both my children! Well, Tobias asked if he could see some pictures of when he was a baby. We did, but while we were looking at the pictures Lorelei woke up. I got her out of bed and she joined the fun.

As you can see, not just me and Tobias, but also Lorelei enjoys looking at pictures :-). Oh yeah, and as you can see in this picture as well: Tobias is soooo much the big brother! He is sooooo sweet to Lorelei! Moments like these make my daddy-days (or in this case, the occasional day off) so unbelievably pricesless!
