Happy One Month, Tess!

Better late than never!  We did one of these for Luna, so we figured we better keep up with Tess!  Thanks to Luna and Jennie for the cupcake!

Weekend in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

As an early anniversary present, Bas surprised me last week by coming home and telling me that he had booked us a weekend in Garmisch!  We had a lovely weekend there a couple years ago and really enjoyed several restaurants and the hotel that we stayed in.  So it was a great way to have a quick getaway and some good food and relaxation!

As a habitual over-packer I was quite proud of the fact that I managed to get all 4 of us into one suitcase for the first time!  Even all the diapers!

The hotel even had a bathrobe for Luna, pictured here on her way down to the pool...

How we spent much of our time!

Heading out for a little shopping...

It's not very often we splurge on the extra star!! Had to get a picture. :)

I like the way you can see the reflection in the glass...

Lots of snow here!!

The Zugspitze in the background...

These medieval (?) Fasching costumes were on display in one of the windows and available for sale, too!

Murals on my favorite Trachten mode shop Grasegger...

Of course...

Enjoying some cake instead of a proper lunch...

Apparently the jackalopes here have wings!

Guess it is either called a Wolpi or a Murmel...

Another pretty Bavarian building...

In anticipation of a "lekerlicious" dinner...

Non-plussed...

Neither one lasted till the main course...

One last quick rest before we left!

Now that we have been there twice, I really hope the next time we are there we actually ski!!

Time to go shopping!

This is a picture from when I put all of Tess's baby clothes into the drawer dividers - about 3 months ago... Nice and full, right?

Here is the pile of clothes that she has already outgrown...

Looks like there is some space to fill!

One Day's Worth...

Fortunately this phase doesn't last too long!  

Tess Week 3!

Luna went to a super-fly Fasching (Carnival or Mardi Gras) party as Mega-Mindy!

First bath for Tess!

Big sister is such a good helper!

 Forgot how slippery they are!

Getting all pretty for some family pictures!

After discovering that the newborn clothes aren't fitting anymore... Gramma picked out a new outfit for Tess!

Looks like she hasn't lost her touch!

Valentine's Day surprise for Luna after school.

And she got to have her face painted for Fasching 2 days in a row!  The first day she was a princess, and the next day she was an Einhorn or unicorn (sorry, no picture! :( )

Phew! - that pretty much catches us up just in time for Tess's One Month old Birthday on Saturday!!
