Rainy Days and a visit to Tubingen

Still pregnant.    That is all I have to say on that topic.  

 

As for our week, we had a good one despite this mama's impatience.    It was really rainy all week so we did some crafting and baking.   Aunt Nancy taught Susannah to spell her name with some fun, colorful bubble letters.   

 

Susannah loves coloring and crafting with Aunt Nancy.

And now she has her name-spelling down pat.

We finally got around to baking Daddy his birthday treats.    Susannah was a fan of the hand mixer.

Wednesday I had regular contractions all day.    And even though they never got very intense, we thought a little visit to the hospital would be wise.   This is before we left.

Last picture as family of 3?   NOPE.    Wasn't in labor at all, but our baby girl is healthy so that is all that really matters.   Even though the waiting is really making me insane.  

We took advantage of one dry morning and headed to a park to exert some energy.

This girl is growing way too fast.

But hanging out with her during her school break has been so much fun.

Tired baby.

Enjoying our favorite breakfast of nutella on an English muffin.

Rainy days = Lots of dressing up.

Saturday the weather cleared, so we headed to the charming riverside town of Tubingen.   It is a thirty minute drive from Stuttgart and a really lovely place.

We even found a really good (for Europe) Mexican restaurant which was a big added bonus to our afternoon.

The flowers were so beautiful.

Susannah insisted on having her own map so she could navigate.  

Isn't this gorgeous?   Reminded us so much of Strasbourg.

We decided to rent a paddle boat and it did not disappoint.

Susannah and Dada took turns steering.

It was such a fun afternoon.

Love.

Last picture as family of 3?   Probably not.  

Aunt Nancy enjoying the ride.

All of these old buildings were so colorful and charming.

This dog laying in the sun was so cute.

After our excursion, we took our turn watching the other boaters from the beer garden that is on the riverbank.   It was a great day. 
 

Hope all of you are well.    We miss you all!
