Home sweet Home

Last Friday we dropped of our little one with "Oma" and I realized how much I really miss "home"
I know I can get there within a 3 hour drive and a lot of you are not that lucky. But I still don't get to see my family and "home" as much as i would like.
I do work, my kids go to Kindergarten, my Mom doesn't always have the time and a visit is always a over-night stay. Otherwise it would be way to stressful with 2 little kids.

Just a few days ago, on a regular grocery shopping tour in Ansbach I was thinking how cool it would be to see "TR" (Trier) license plates instead of "AN"
And last weekend it almost brought tears of joy to my eyes seeing all those "TR"'s and hearing the dialect of those people living there brought this huge smile to my face.

 
I don't know, maybe I'm just over-reacting due to everything else that is going in my life right now.

And if you never checked out Trier/Mosel and it's area, do it before you leave Germany. 

Easter 2012

The bunny was so good to my kids. Better then it should have been... lol But I have to admit that they don't fight as much as they used to. So maybe they really deserved all those Easter bunnies. =P

The Hubby came back home Saturday and I think that was the best present of all. =) Me and the kids were so excited to pick him up from the Nuernberger Airport. Now I just wish we wouldn't have to let him go so soon again.
Of course we enjoy every day that we still have together and early May we will all be going on a short vacation. Not sure were yet. but it won't be anywhere huge. Somewhere close to here. So it's less stress and more of a vacation with the two kiddos.
Still, I can't ignore the fact that he will be gone for a whole 6 month really soon. It's not gonna be easy, not for me and also not for Melissa... Claire doesn't really care yet. At least she didn't seem to care the last 6 weeks where Daddy wasn't home.
This will be our second Deployment and it feels just like the first time. I really don't think i will ever get used to it. Never ever.

April...

Oh April how i longed for you. I'm so glad your finally here and bring our hubby and daddy home. =)
Not much longer now. In the mean time my oldest helped me cooking yesterday.
She wanted Banana-Nutella Pancakes for dinner...
They were sooooooooo yummy. Just take your basic pancake batter, bake your pancakes in a pan, put tons of Nutella on it and a few slices of Bananas. Enjoy =)

I can assure you that they are more than yummy. I don't have words for them. lol
