Wir sind wieder alle zusammen. Peter und Charlotte sind aus Erie wieder hier angekommen und Jonathan hat es auch über die Allegheny Berge geschafft.
Julius and Flora are happy to have Jonathan back.
Julius und Flora freuen sich sehr, daß Jonathan wieder zu Hause ist.
And Flora is also happy to have Charlotte back. Here, they are both baking.
Und Flora freut sich auch, daß Charlotte wieder da ist. Hier backen sie beide.
And here, Miriam is joining them.

For my birthday, all children and Peter gave me a box full of non-English picture books that have been translated into English. They are all very different from each other and will be fun to read! The box came late last week and we opened it today.
Zum Geburtstag haben mir alle Kinder und Peter eine Kiste voll mit ausländischen Bilderbüchern geschenkt, die ins Englische übersetzt worden sind. Die Kiste ist am Wochenende gekommen und heute haben wir sie zusammen geöffnet.
Jonathan also had this German journal for me.
Jonathan hat mir auch noch ein deutsches Notizbuch geschenkt.

Here, they are building a snowman.
Jetzt wird ein Schneemann gebaut.
And I took these pictures because Flora was wearing a dress from Dorina's girls today. Und ich habe diese Fotos gemacht, weil Flora heute ein Kleid von Dorinas Mädchen getragen hat.
Your spring break is later than ours, lovely to see you altogether especially the kids both big and little building a snowman. Flora looks lovely in her new dress xx
ReplyDeleteOurs used to be in February, but this year it is in March. They had so much fun in the snow. This morning, it was warmer and the snowman fell over. Very sad. We have too dresses like that. Flora is wearing the smaller one. She loves to wear it for church.
DeleteSo ein Leuchtturm Buch habe ich auch, darin schreibe und male ich mein Jahreszeitentagebuch. Die sind ganz gut. Für einen Schneemann hat der Schnee hier bei weitem nicht gereicht dieses Jahr. Schön, dass wieder alle beisammen sind, oder?
ReplyDeleteJonathan war so überrascht, etwas aus Deutschland zu sehen! Ja, es ist schön wieder zusammen zu sein, doch am Sonntag müssen Jonathan und Charlotte wieder zurück.
DeleteJetzt ist die Situation schon wieder anders und alle kommen wieder heim
DeleteJa, und bleiben wohl bis August!
DeleteHello Eva, your birthday picture books and the German journal look so nice. It'll be fun to read them all, and to do some writing. It's also wonderful to see everyone together . . such a sweet holiday time. The dress fits Flora so well! I loved that dress, and forgot it was in the bag I gave Charlotte to look through. I hope Flora enjoys wearing. Chanda had liked it and thought it was quite comfortable.
ReplyDeleteMany of us here miss the snow this year. I hope we get some next year. It's nice to see the children playing outside . . and baking together. Charlotte's biscotti look very good, and Julius is obviously content :)
Yes, those books look very intriguing, they are all quite long and different. You know, I think the dress (and the same one in size 14) came in a box you sent a while ago. Miriam wore it a few years ago, but I don't think I ever posted a picture. Flora loves the dress for church. It is quite comfortable and has held up well.
DeleteWe are all having a good time. Miriam and Charlotte still want to bake a cake for Sunday. Julius is going from one lap to another. He loves all the attention.
And guess what, I thought we were done with snow, but it is snowing quite heavily right now.
