Happy Days


Yard work makes Tess sleepy...


Luna is running in a race with Papa in June.  He started her training program today...




After the run, we walked to our favorite local restaurant for some dinner.  Cheeseburgers, yum.  Luna brought some guests from the garden... poor things.





On the way home, we stopped for Eis.

Jugendverkehrschule...

(otherwise known as Kid's Traffic School) was today.

A nice Polizei ran the class, which was all "Mittelschulkind" or 4 to 5 year-olds.


The town Of Herzogenaurach (just down the road) has a special location set up with real traffic lights and signs, which is used for this training as well as driving tests, etc.

Here the Polizei man is telling the children the proper way to cross at a traffic signal.  Luna is such a good listener, can't you tell?



She opted to try with friends.


This shows you a bit of what the course looks like...


And after mastering crossing the road, crossing at lights, crossing at the crosswalk, and crossing between parked cars... each child went across a (rather major) road, all by themselves!  


She was so busy looking cool, she forgot to watch the light and almost missed it!

My First Steiff (from Gramma...)


She is holding things, and of course, trying to put them in her mouth!



Gramma gave her this little toy as her first Steiff!



She likes it!
