Not so easy around here. There is so much space! I think most Europeans are really good at it because they have to do it all the time.

Her arm is healed now, but she does have a large brown spot now, covering most of her lower arm. <br /><br />I guess Miriam is also growing up. She is immune, by the way, and does not need the second MMR shot.

My friend from Liverpool likes to brag to her childhood friends that one thing she can do very well now is parallel park!dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-73374028415520802532016-06-08T22:28:27.644-04:002016-06-08T22:28:27.644-04:00Oh my goodness . . poor poor Veronika!

And Flora is sweet!<br /><br />Please take pics of the plant beds if you can :)dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-70840791647412583152016-06-04T23:14:21.328-04:002016-06-04T23:14:21.328-04:00Yes, Jonathan is making progress. There is still ...Yes, Jonathan is making progress. There is still parallel parking, though. <br /><br />Veronika's burn looks pretty bad. It is quite big, almost he whole lower arm has been burnt (just the inside, though). We alternate between letting it dry in the air and covering it with antibiotic cream and the silver cream you sent for Julius :). There was still some left and I read it is good for burns. For the pain she takes Ibuprofen as needed. <br /><br />Miriam did the test herself (she did not want us to go in with her). She forgot to ask when they will have the results. She has only received one MMR and we want to make sure that she is still protected. We did the same test with Jonathan and Charlotte when they were that age. Jonthan needed a booster, but Charlotte did not. <br /><br />The Duke House just opened a while ago. It was quite nice, not super fancy, but for this area something different. The people were very friendly and the food was good. <br /><br />Flora did not feel good today (some kind of cold) and she spent some time on the couch in the living-room. She chose a book with prayers to be next to her (she does not read English so far, just some German, but the book was in English). I thought that was a very interesting choice. She also told Peter that he needed to buy more dental floss because the kind he bought was just good for sewing ballet slippers! Peter had bought the Reach brand and apparently Flora thinks that it is only used by Jonathan and Charlotte for sewing ballet slippers. She is too funny. <br /><br />Miriam has already planted something, but I am not sure what. Charlotte has also planted something in hers. Just Veronika is still waiting to have her bed finished. We have to prepare the ground for her before we can add the soil mix. With her injury she is not able to do it herself. I have never read "Little Men." <br /><br />P.S. I think your comment got cut off!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-3027609564255046872016-06-04T00:54:44.303-04:002016-06-04T00:54:44.303-04:00You are very busy, and Jonathan has been working h...You are very busy, and Jonathan has been working hard at his driving :) Veronika's burn sounds painful. I hope it's feeling better. When do you get the results from Miriam's titer test? The Duke House looks very nice! It looked like a very nice treat for a day spent dealing with doctors and hospitals :) Downtown does look very beautiful.<br /><br />I love Flora's ideas for a possible occupation :) And I look forward to seeing what goes into the garden beds! I remember Louisa May Alcott writing about the children's garden beds in _Little Men_. The plants always reflected the children's personalities.dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.com
